Being first time parents is really great, exhausting, but great. One thing I never realized though, babies make weird noises. The first night home was especially long. Even though Ella and Emma are healthy in every way, the little noises they made kept us awake that first night at home. It has become a little easier the more we are around them (Carla and I taking turns napping also helps).
First thing on Wednesday morning we went to see the pediatrician. Both Ella and Emma have grown a lot during their first 16 days of life. Ella now weighs 6 pounds 12 ounces and Emma is 6 pounds 8 ounces. Our Doctor, Dr. Walsh, told us not to continue with some of the things the NICU nurses had insisted on. One was to let the girls sleep as long as they wanted to during the night and only feed them when they woke up: no feedings every three hours during the night (Sweet!). Both continue to eat more everyday, we are about to need bigger bottles! Our next visit to the pediatrician will be in two weeks were we will discuss formula changes.
(Speaking of little noises, as I'm writing this entry, Ella just made a stinky noise.)
Ella and Emma look so CUTE in their Going Home outfits!
The Whole Family! Aren't we Gorgeous!
We're Home!
WOW! At home and in our bed.
Nana and Papa Mullin stopped by to see their newest Great-Granddaughters.
