A short update because I am so tired. Pictures will have to wait until I upload them. I have another post I want to write, too, but I am too tired to do it tonight. It is much busier than I anticipated with driving to and from the hospital twice a day, but it gives me the time in the afternoon to nap, which I need, so we both agree that this is still the best thing for us right now. But it is rough. The morning is so quick with pumping, showering, and breakfast, then leaving. Then, I get home and it's nap time and pumping and dinner and pumping and leaving. Then we get home after 11pm. But it is so worth it. There is nothing better than ending the day holding them. So wonderful...
They are doing great. Just great. Bobby is now off his lights as of today. He was 0.8 and they said that is low enough to remove the lights. YAY! And they expect Maya to soon follow. They are discussing moving them from the preemie isolettes into the next level of incubators. Woo Hoo! They both gained about 40 grams today. They havent had any issues being off the CPAP and on room air without pressure. Maya had her last dose of the baby advil and, as of this morning, they could no longer hear the murmur so it looks like it worked. She's been dirtying her diapers consistently, but he is still working on that.
When they open their eyes and look at you with those beautiful stares... It just melts your heart. Bobby has dark hair and his eyes look to be dark also. Maya has light hair and her eyes look like they may stay the hazel-blue color. We shall see. But, regardless, they watch you when you talk to them and, when Peter and I both are with them, they will trace back and forth between who is talking. It's amazing.
I had my staples removed and do feel better. Still sore. Still hurting. But no percocet today. 3 doses of ibuprophen, but that is keeping things at bay.
Well, it's time to turn the pump off and go to bed... I'll try to get pics up tomorrow.

It sounds like your babies are doing SO wonderful. I'm so happy to hear that! Wonderful, wonderful news! I hope they continue to grow and mend. :-D
I also wanted to let you know that your raffle items have shipped. If you don't have them in a few days, please let me know. :-D
clearly, miracle babies!
Sitting here with a full heart and huge smile on my face. And complete without words :) Still so thrilled for you all.
I continue to Pray for you and cheer with you today on your wonderful news. I know you have so much on your plate so I will just ask, Please Pray hard for me. My life is in a mess and I really need the Power of Prayer. I have been tweeting today and feel the energy leaving me so will be back to being unable to do anything soon. www.twitter.com/colty13 plus I just added a post today. xoxo, Kandi Ann
so glad things are going well!
So glad to hear they are doing so well!
I am so glad the babies are continuing to improve and thrive!
I am also glad you are taking some time out to get some rest. C-sections take a lot out of you and I am sure you are exhausted! I love reading the updates, keep them coming!
What an amazing blessing that they're doing so well. God bless you all!
Things sound good! Progress is beautiful. I'm so happy for you. Happy seven days on earth Bobby and Maya!
Then nicu is exhilerating and exhausting! Congrats again and I'm thrilled they are doing so well!
We love you, hon. I'm so glad to hear that all of you are doing well. I guess you may already know, but Steve's son and daughter-in-law just let your mom and Steve know that they are having twins too. I told her she was trying to show off. That all I had was one grandson and now their kids are going haywire. I'd hate to see their christmas tree next year. Five new babies in a year, wow!!! Take care of yourself and those little ones. Our prayers are with you all!
Wow... Bobby and Maya continue to amaze us! As do both of you. So glad to hear how well things are going for all of you!
