home

7 months of a very scary and stressful pregnancy.
6 weeks living in Presbyterian Hospital away from my family.
116 "non-stress test" monitoring sessions for the girls.
4 steroid shots, 2 rhogam shots, 2 terbutaline shots, magnesium infusion, and who even knows how many blood draws.
9 days in the NICU.
17 days in the Special Care Nursery.
Lots of hospital bracelets and countless Presby parking cards.

SO. WORTH. IT.

We are all under one roof!!  The girls got to come home on Tuesday, and we have absolutely loved having everyone home...finally!  It has been a long and scary road for sure, but the less-than-fun parts are already becoming distant memories as we enjoy our sweet new additions to the family.  {Not to say that it's easy having a 2 year old and preemie twins, but we are figuring things out, and we are SO very lucky to have our family and friends supporting us.

 Here are a few pictures from the last two days at home.

Checking out their new crib, even though they're not sleeping there yet.
{although they might move there soon...they grunt SUPER loudly at night}

first dual bottles with daddy

And a few owl hat pics from today...almost 4 weeks old!



And I had to share this one, because it is probably the most accurate picture of our new, crazy life! :)
