I was discharged from the hospital last night. It is wonderful to be home with Josh and Cooper, but I spend most of my time at home looking forward to my next visit to the NICU to check on Maren and Owen. I imagine that is just how life is going to be for us until the twins come home.
While it's too soon yet to predict when Maren and Owen will get to come home, we are optimistic that their stay won't be too long. Both babies are breathing on their own and tolerating increased feedings every day. They are currently spending their time in isolettes, which help regulate their temperatures, but the doctor says that they will be ready to move to cribs soon! Every day, they grow stronger, and we get to see a little more of their feisty personalities. We have learned that both babies can kick their way out of any swaddle. After spending a lot of time together in a small space, they are loving stretching out in their own beds. We have also learned that both kiddos are strong enough to pull out their own feeding tubes, so hopefully they'll use this strength to get sprung from the NICU soon!
Check out the link below for a little video of our twins. Thank you to my brother-in-law, Daniel, for putting this together!
