Just wanted to do a quick post with some pictures to let everyone know the girls are doing wonderfully and Daddy and I are doing okay too. We brought the girls home late Thursday afternoon. Whew - taking care of twin newborns is definitely not easy, especially with a 3 year old. But thank goodness these little girls pretty much just eat and then blissfully sleep, and their brother spent the weekend with Bapa and Grandma. It has given us a chance to get organized, figure out how to get their routine down, etc. One thing that is wonderful to the nth degree about the stay in the NICU is that the girls are already on a routine. They eat at the same time (every 3 hours at 2am, 5am, 8am, 11am, 2pm, 5pm, 8pm, 11pm etc) and then pretty much go right back to sleep until we wake them again. Despite their abundant sleep schedule, Dad and I are definitely exhausted.
They had their first doctor's appointment Friday, and he was very pleased at how healthy they were. Both girls weighed 4 pounds and 9 ounces! Yay!!
I will post more info about their homecoming, etc later. But here are a few pictures from the weekend:

This is how the girls sleep all day long - we've become champion swaddlers in this house. :-)
