Today has been a blur. I was up from 2am until about 8am with intermitten sleep of about 20 minutes a pop. Thank the Lord that my mom is here because otherwise we would never sleep. I was able to get a nap in and am up for another night of feeding, changing and burping.. this is the long haul. Somehow I thought the NICU would be the hardest part of this journey but we are now in the no sleep stage. I am just glad they grow and change bc they are so fragile still it is hard to be excited. It is finally setting in that I actually have twins. Little Tommy is now freaking out and we are running on empty.. just what I imagined would happen. We had a come to Jesus conversation today after he cried for an hour and wouldn't let me hold or feed the kids. All in time.. I was just glad he was able to voice his feelings after months of pent up sadness and anger. He showed it all to me today and he is such a verbal child that we actually talked about it.
They are still eating 9 times a day and taking about 60-70 ML each time, two Enfacare formula bottles with vitamins and numerous diapers. We need a night nurse.
Sorry for the short blogs.. I have no time now so they will be shorter. Just wanted to catch you all up.
Much love,
Erica and Tom
