We had a good visit today .. the kids were perfect.. slept like logs, snuggled beautifully and had no events. Are these my kids??? They both latched on again but Austin was a little lazier today and that's ok bc he's just now learning. It could have been a super peaceful day however our nurse was horrible! She was so stressed all day long, fell behind on everything. To top my day off, I had a new couple beside me that delivered the night before. I had to witness their first time seeing their daughter in the NICU which is just awful and I immediately went right back to that first day, when I saw the twins for the first time all hooked up to machines with the beeping and such. What a traumatic time? and thinking about it was difficult.. I felt so bad for the couple but I know that they will survive it, just lke we are!! It made me realized how far we have come in the past 5 1/2 weeks. It is so hard to see people that are just beginning the journey and you can see they have no clue what they are in for. We all take trauma one piece at a time (at least Tom and I do) and it is such a fragile place to be in. Everyone around us knew that we were on this emotional rollercoster yet no one could cope for us .. we had to walk through the fire on our own.. Deep thoughts with Erica Haupert.. I know. haha
On a much lighter note, Grace's feedings have been increased to 40ML and hopefully she too will be in a crib soon. She is up to 4 lbs. 7 oz. and Austin's feeds are the same (42) but he has gained weight as well to 4lbs. 15 oz.!!! I have attached some fun pictures from today. Enjoy!
Much love to you all,
Erica and Tom
