Everyday, I think about blogging but then I don't. Right now, I am sitting at the computer staring down at my beautiful babies. They are trying to sleep. Jocey has her arm entwined in Adey's. It is so adorable. I can't believe that it has already been 5 weeks. Time just flies. The past 5 weeks has been a whirlwind. A lot has happened...
I had the girls home for 3 days before Jocey had to be readmitted to the hospital. She wasn't eating and she had lost over a pound since her birth. It was so scary. What was worse was they would not let me bring Adey there because of the whole H1N1 policy. It was horrible. How do you choose between which baby to spend time with? I was breastfeeding so it didn't leave me much choice but to stay home with Adey while Josh spent all of his time at the hospital. I was so depressed not having both of my babies with me. What made it worse was Josh was going to be returning to work and then neither of us would be with Jocey. Thankfully, the doctor felt that this was ridiculous and she called the higher powers. They gave me permission to bring Adey to the hospital. Jocey had a private room so we bunked out on the couch for a week. One day she just started eating again and quickly gained weight. We were able to bring her home after 6 days. I have never felt like that before. My daughter was perfectly healthy from the time she was born until now (9 years later). I never want to have a sick child again.
After that scare, I have loved everyday I get to spend with all of my children. They are growing so fast. They both are a little over 6 pounds now. They both have had their first real smiles. I just look into their pretty eyes and feel this overwhelming love. Everyday that my older daughter comes home from school, I look at her and want to cry. I think I am a little emotional still! I just love my family so much.
The babies are SO good. I couldn't have asked for better. We are on a 3 hour eating schedule. They both wake up after 3 hours, get their diapers changed, eat and at night fall right back to sleep. During the day, they can stay up for the whole 3 hours playing and staring at each other! Neither baby is overly cranky. I am lucky!
I feel so complete.
