Another Day Closer to Coming Home

Both babies continue to do well. They’re in bassinets now, so they can try to get used to the “real world” in preparation for coming home. Though both babies are doing very well for their developmental age, Adam is a little bit ahead of his big sister. We might be able to take him home as early as next week. Tessa will most likely follow in another week or two. The Missus and I can’t fault them for being conservative.

The new hospital is working out very well. The extra half-hour each way that we save is great, and we have much more room, which comes in handy at feeding time. The Missus has been successfully breastfeeding them when we are there. (She’s pumping every three to four hours when we’re not.) Otherwise, she is still recovering from her C-section and her three months of bed rest. She’s doing well, but her loving husband must remind her occasionally to get off her feet and rest.

Personally, I had some firsts this week. I got to change their diapers for the first of many, many times. And Adam spit-up a little bit on my shirt. Something else that I’m sure will happen again.

Here are some new pictures. They don’t do much but eat, sleep and poop, but I think they’re very photogenic anyway. And now they can yawn!
