The Twins: An N.I.C.U. Update 4

Marijo, Lewis and I went up this morning and evening to visit the twins. They came off the bilirubin light and don’t have to wear those darned glasses anymore.

They went from bottle feeding once a day to once a shift to now, once every other feeding. Both are snuggling each other in their bundles even though Audrey wants to be uncovered and Aiden loves to be swaddled. He takes after me and Lew and she takes after Marijo.

We took them some more clothes and let Lewis see his brother and sister. He asked why they couldn’t come home with us tonight. Me and Marijo want that too.

Marijo has been having bouts of missing them something fierce, which we both expected. She continues to pump and bring them milk which their Neonatologist says is helping them tons.

Lew got a haircut and we picked up parts for his bed today. Just the three of us at home right now. Cozy, but still missing something. They will be here soon. As of right now, they should be home sometime a week from now.

That would give us a pair and three of a kind. Sounds like a full house to me.

Babies home for Christmas…now that’s a heck of a gift.
