We are home! And survived our first night!

Temp159135562506975

Thanks to everyone who said a prayer for Grayson - his cardiology report was good.... he has a little hole in his heart- the doc thinks will close very soon- and they found an extra vessle they couldn't get a good shot of - but are not concerned.  They want us to come back in a month to get him checked out again just for a precaution.  Since they don't seem concerned- we are not going to worry about it either (for now! lol).

Their biliruben levels were low enough to come home - so we finally made it here around 2pm yesterday.

Griffin has been AMAZING with them! He wants to help and really IS a good help (fetching things we need) and seems to have the magic touch with burping (mommy can never get these boys to burp!) but griffin gives a few pats and out it comes! He thinks that is so funny

The boys decided last night that they wanted to eat every TWO hours instead of every 3 like they have been doing during the day - gee- thanks!  But at least they are eating a lot and pooping out the jaundice

Breastfeeding has come to a hault- both are rejecting the breast now out or nowhere- not sure why- so i'm pumping- and not getting much when I do.  If it doesn't pick up - i may give up and just bottle feed- b/c time is too precious to me now... we'll see. 

We are so thaknful and  feel so blessed to have them home and healthy!

Thanks again!

Yay for surviving the first night.  I'm glad the doctor's don't think the issues with Grayson's heart are serious.  The supply takes a while to pick up so I wouldn't worry too much about that.  Hopefully it gets better.  I had to use formula at first and then started giving them BM.  That's so cute that Griffin is jumping right in with his big brother duties:)  Congratulations.  I'm so happy everyone is doing well.

Glad things are going well overall so far! Griffin is such a sweetie. I pray BFing starts to go better soon; I didn't last very long and can relate to challenges in that area!

I am so glad to hear that you are home. GL with the BFing. It's cute that your older one is so excited to be a big brother.

Yay for Grayson and congrats to everyone!  Keep pooping out the jaundice boys!!  I understand the eating every 2 hours thing... we had that for a little while too...  I wonder why they are both rejecting BFing - have you tried different holds?  Mine are sometimes frustrated when I tandem with football hold, but are great with the cradle hold.  Time is precious though, so do what works best for you and the boys.  :-)

Congrats again & love your siggie! Hope the BFing &/or pumping gets better, I'm sure it will. Enjoy the little ones!

Mrs.Babbsy

OMG...Congratulations!!  I havent been on in a while, the days have become shorter and there is less time in the day since the twins have been born.  The boys are beautiful!!  Good to hear that everyone is home and they are doing great!!  What wonderful weights!!   Good luck to you, and I am sending the babies sleepy dust...to sleep through the night

Welcome home!  Glad to hear everything looks okay with Grayson-hope it goes away soon.  That is so cute about helpful little Griffin!!  And hope bf works out, but in the end, just do what works best for you and the babies.  You're giving it a try and that's what matters most!

Glad to hear things are going so well!  Your boys are BEAUTIFUL!  My daughter has had a hole in her heart since she was born.  We just had an appt. this past week with her cardiologist and they think it has finally closed on its own.  I'm hoping you will have the same luck.  Really....we couldn't even tell she had it unless the doctors told us.  She was very active and acted like a normal kid!

On another note..... I am being induced on Tuesday morning!  I hope to do as well as you seem to be doing!

Congrats. Hope tonight is easier on you and that b/fing will work out for you.
