Is it Thursday already?

Wow time flies when you don't sleep! :) Here we are Thursday morning and the last thing I really remember is laying in bed Monday morning wondering if I should get up and do a load of laundry or sleep in and wait for Hannah to wake me up! Obviously Aspen made that decision when she broke my water... but I wasn't ready for that plan!

Both Aspen and Brooke continue to do wonderful! The neonatologist came in this morning and was nothing but encouraged by their progress. Both girls are completely off of their IV's (Aspen still has hers left in, as you can see, just because it was still good) but Brooke's is completely gone and we are well on our way to having "cord free" girls! Nursing both girls has been going great and their blood sugars have remained stable so there is no need to introduce formula or bottles...they are doing it all on their own!

Both girls have maintained a "normal" weight for newborns, with only the typical weight loss that any healthy newborn would see. Aspen is now 4lbs 9oz and Brooke is 4lbs 13oz. Again, I can't stress enough how wonderful they are doing! They have had absolutely no breathing issues and are absolutely adorable.

So final word this morning... The neonatologist told John to go home and get the car seats because if the girls maintain the great job they are currently doing, we should be home this Saturday or Sunday! We are so excited! So please keep praying for the girls, they are little but tough and we know they are going to do what they need to do so they can come home where they belong!
