Forward and backwards but still making progress...

Rachel looking all cute

Holding my Callum
Things with the babies I think are going really well.  We have setbacks but it is to be expected.  For the great news: the magnesium is almost gone and they are breathing on their own w/no help!!!!   Unfortunately their jaundice is back but that is treatable.   
It was weird b/c I think I am overwhelmed sometimes by how delicate they are but they really are troopers.  Sometimes I will change a diaper and an alarm goes up and I start thinking the worse.  Today I was holding Rachel her heart started racing and her eyes unfocused so I started yelling for help.  She was just trying to burp b/c she had gas :p  It is hard to be calm and confident but I need to be.  These kids are fighters and in my heart I know they will be okay.

  2. Little Rachel is adorable! Look at all her hair. I don't think I could ever work in the NICU with all those tiny little ones.
