We spent time feeding the girls and we actually got to put them in clothes for the first time. It was so much fun getting to see them in regular clothes.
Kinley
Madelyn
Madelyn
They were both so cute in their pink little outfits for about two minutes. I looked over at Madelyn and she was spitting up all over herself and her clothes. I was trying to find a rag or something to clean her up and couldn't find one. I ask Chris to check Kinley's bed for one and he says she is throwing up too. We find some more clothes, change the girls and in about 10 minutes Kinley poops through her second set of PJ's. They had put newborn diapers on them instead of preemie. They are too big and they just kept leaking everywhere. All we could do was laugh and say welcome to our new life! I love it!!!!
At the shift change we had to leave because the NICU is closed for hour. Chris and I had a date at the hospital.
After going back to the NICU we feed and put the girls to bed. We were so tired we decided to go home and sleep. We walked into the door and found our table set with our wedding china (we have never used) and my mom had ordered us dinner. It was amazing.
Overall it was the best Valentine's day ever! Thanks mom for the nice dinner!
The girls are doing well in the NICU. We are really trying hard to take the bottle every feed in addition to breastfeeding. It's going ok, neither one is doing amazing at taking the bottle but we will get there. I am so ready for them to come home. Kinley made it over 4 pounds today, hopefully she will stay there.
I am still recovering but I did find out that my blood pressure was still high. I am taking medicine for six weeks, and it's already going down. I was also having some issues with swelling. Thanks to some tension hose I finally have my ankles back. YAY!!!

The girls look so cute. I remember the day we finally got to put real clothes on our girls. I have 8 and half month old twin girls. I have 2 pink twin onsies that I bought when I was pregant but since they were so early they never fit into them at the right season, and I trid them on them today and they don't fit. They onsies are 0-3 months which is what we are wearing now but they run small. Anyways, if you would like to e-mail me your address I would LOVE to send them to you. I want someone with twin girls to get them. They have never been worn. my e-mail address is brown020704@yahoo.com
Your mom totally rocks! Glad she organized a special evening for you two...you totally deserve it! Love the pink outfits too.

Your girls are adorable! My twins were 34 weekers and just a little smaller than your girls. They will be home in no time and that's when the fun really begins! I'm also going to add you to my blogroll so I can stalk you for pictures of those cute twincesses.
How amazing how your life changes, right? Beautiful girls, they look so different from their first pics already. CANT WAIT TO MEET THEM!!

What a wonderful and sweet gesture from your mom! I got chills reading it! The girls are beautiful. As my babies are getting ready to turn 1 on Wednesday, I enjoy reading your experiences and going back to that place when they were so little. ENJOY every moment!!
