Update

It has been a little while since I have had a chance to post on here. Being back at work really has things going crazy for us. It seems as if I have no "free" time. That is ok though. We are definitely surviving! Yesterday the girls had a home health nurse come to our house to give them their next Synigis shots (to prevent RSV). The nurse weighed them while she was here. Aubrey is now the bigger of the 2 girls. She weighed 9 lb 11 oz according to the scale the nurse had. Whitney weighed in at 9 lb 7 oz. They are both doing so well considering everything we went through to get them home with us.

Whitney is now smiling a lot and cooing more frequently. She even giggles occasionally! Aubrey is a little behind in that department. When you adjust their age like you are supposed to with preemies they are only around 7 weeks old so they are really both right where "the experts" say they should be. Whitney just seems to be a little ahead of schedule.

The girls are starting to sleep better at night. They usually get up around 3 am to eat and then make it until we get them up in the morning around 7:30. The daycare is awesome because they let me bring the girls in their PJs. I just get them out of bed and put them in their carseats. Then when we get to daycare I help their teacher feed and change them. That saves me from having to do it all by myself in the mornings since Jason and Mallory leave for school before we get the girls out of bed. Last night they didn't wake up until 5 am! Then they slept until 8:30. This is the most rested I have felt since November 9 (the day before I went into the hospital)!

Mallory is still doing great. She is the best big sister ever! She is getting to be such a big girl. She is even doing much better in the potty training department.

Thursday (March 26) is the day we transmit the data for Aubrey's apnea monitor. As long as she doesn't have another apnea episode between now and then we should be able to get rid of that monitor. That would make it over a month since her last episode. Things will be so much easier when we get rid of that thing. We will be able to carry her around like "a normal baby"! I can't wait!

I will try to not go so long between posts next time!
