Update on the Twins

Jackson came home with us on Sunday. The first night was what Chris termed the "Terror Dome." Jackson screamed every time we put him down. We were completely spoiled in the hospital with all of the relatives and the nurses taking care of him. I miss being able to send Jackson to the nursery to get a few hours of sleep. Last night was a little better and he slept more. Audrey is still in the NICU due to her small size (she is currently 3 lbs 3 oz). She is still in her isolette so that she does not burn calories staying warm. She also had a feeding tube put in to bulk up her feeding and get her out of the NICU sooner. We can't wait to have them both home with us.

Poor Charlie! Is he still getting fed?

They are so tiny! Hang in there with the "sleepless nights." It does get better...Jackson probably misses his sister, too.

We are starting to get on a schedule with little Jackson. I get to sleep from 11 PM to 4 AM and Chris sleeps from 4 AM until 10 AM. Chris is not going to be as spoiled next week because I can't drive for 6 weeks and I have to breastfeed Audrey everyday at 9 AM and 9 PM (my Mom is driving me this week). It is going to be even more interesting when we have 2 hungry babies screaming all night long. Charlie is starting to get used to the baby but we are still being very cautious with him. Thanks for all of the well wishes!
