So Sarah is doing so well!! Right now all she has to do to come home is to eat enough. They are taking her out of the special like, bed she is in and putting her in a regular hospital 'crib' which is just one of those clear cases you see babies in. She isn't hooked up to any monitors and they said I can bring her some clothes to put on! She's been naked up until now haha. I am going to go visit her this afternoon and try to feed her myself. I tried yesterday but she didn't really take to it that well, but it's a process and it took Olivia a few tries before she really got it so I'm not worried.
Speaking of Olivia, she still has jaundice. She's having a heck of a time getting rid of it too. It's not like dangerous levels or anything but they'd like to see it go down some and that hasn't happened so far. It's so sad because she has to stay in this little light up 'blanket' that makes her look like an alien because it glows so brightly. It's neon blue. It's a really awkward thing and I basically can't really hold her that much because of the stupid blanket. It has this huge cord coming out of it and the 'tape' they use to keep it on her sucks. Oh well it's worth it if it makes her better.
Other than the jaundice she is doing wonderfully. She is just freaking adorable, and so is Sarah. Let me just tell you also, there is no way they are identical. It was hard to tell at first because we didn't get much time with Sarah, but now that we are seeing her so much more it's quite obvious they are NOT identical. I would've been surprised if they had been identical.
It's been an interesting week to be sure. But a wonderful one. I am excited/scared about Sarah coming home. Excited because I love her and I really want to be home with her and hold her whenever I want without tons of nurses all around me watching my every move. Scared because that is two babies to nurse and take care of. Mainly because I am way tired already and I'm only having to care for one baby so I can only imagine two! Not to mention I really have no clue what I am doing haha. I'm figuring it out as I go.
Oh well. I need to get a shower while I have a chance, and maybe a nap?
Stay tuned.
The miracle of life! Here we are parents of twin girls Sarah and Olivia born Jan 16. Welcome to our adventure of love, hope, and joy! We will update as much as we can about our beautiful girls and their progress in life!

You can do it Aimee! It will the most exhausting few months of your life until everybody is on a routine, but just try to get a routine and it will all fall into place!
Have you tried natural sunlight for the Jaundice? Evan had it too and that worked really well, but it still took a week or so to go away. I put him in his bouncer seat and set him on the table in front of the window.
Congrats Mommy! My hat is off to you for the delivery of twins!!!!!
