Double Time with Daddy

Today was my first day taking care of the girls all by myself for the whole day. Abi went back to work today so last night I did the 12am feeding by myself and let her sleep so that she could get some good rest. Besides having no time to do anything else, everything went great! The day just flew by and I just love hanging out with my little girls. It is sad how fast those two tiny babies wrapped me around their little fingers. Uncle Brian and Aunt Sue stopped by at lunch time to feed the girls for me and spent some quality cuddle time with Adalyn and Emma, everyone involved seemed to really enjoy their time together.

The girls are still struggling with their reflux and continue to spit up every feeding. Because of this, Abi and Dr. G decided to try thickening their formula. We started at the 9pm feeding last night and so far it really seems to be helping with their spiting. They still reflux but at least they have kept their food down. When Abi got home from the hospital tonight we loaded up Adalyn and Emma into the minivan and snuck them in after hours at the office and got the girls weights and lengths. Adalyn weighed 5lbs 13oz and is 18-1/4" long. Emma weighs 5lbs 2.5oz and is 18" long. Way to go girls! Even with the spit ups they put on an ounce a day since their last doctors visit on January 21. Besides their reflux the girls continue to do amazingly well. Both girls sleep really well in between their feedings and have some good quiet alert times during the day.(Even when they are sleeping they still make all kinds of noises original to them, I fear the day when they start to talk.) We have been giving them "tummy time" before their day time feedings and they actually seem to enjoy it. They both are really good at picking up their heads and moving them from one side to the other. On Wednesday Emma rolled over from her tummy to her back and Adalyn did it today! We know that it is a little soon for this and it was probably a one time deal but we are still so proud.(Abi was really excited both times.)

Please continue to pray that GOD heals their reflux and protects them from illness/infection. Praise His name and give thanks for almost 2 great weeks at home.

GOD Is In Control.
