I have been home from the hospital 2 days now. What an adjustment! I am reminded by my husband and mother that my standards for a clean house must be downgraded. It's a challenge for me not to be able to do more for myself. The babies help me to keep everything in perspective though. Greg and I have been able to visit the twins twice a day. I have done Kangaroo care with both of them now. It is nice to hold them close (reminds me of when they were inside!) and they both seem to like it a lot too! Greg was able to hold Alexander yesterday. I'm hoping he can hold Isabel tomorrow, it being Father's Day and all!
Alexander is doing great on his feedings. They increased them today and Isabel is finally tolerating a small amount of milk. So thankful for this! They have turned her SiPap down and the apnea episodes are decreasing. She is so uncomfortable having it on her face, and just screams when she is unhappy. Alexander is back on photo therapy....I guess this is common. We are learning a lot about their personalities early! Alexander is soooo laid back. Isabel...not so much. Greg and I prefer to say she is "strong willed." The nurses say this is a great sign. We feel so blessed even with all the twists and turns.

You're doing great, Susan! The house can wait, though I'm right there with you on how hard it is to wait! Hoping Greg gets to hold Isabel today! Happy Father's Day, Greg!
