Sorry I did not take any pictures at my last two visits. I will tomorrow. We are truly seeing blessings in the lives of our boys. Both boys are progressing awesome. Both are almost up to full feedings for their age which is about 35ml for Kaleb and 30ml for Carter. To put it in perspective it is about 7 teaspoons for Kaleb and 6 teaspoons for Carter. Both are being taken off their IV nutrition and both do not have to have the photo lights for Jaundice any more. The problem they are going to have now is having enough energy to finish all of their feedings. If they can not tolerate taking it by bottle then they give it to them with an NG tube which is in their nose. This is normal for preemies.
Ashlyn is glad that I am home. She is a little concerned about me still not being able to pick her up. She asked me this morning if the doctor used a "carving knife" to get the babies out. She wants people to look at my incision when they come over and cries when I tell her no. She has picked up some interesting bad habits in my absence which will require extra patience to overcome. On the flip side--I sure love being home with her. Soon the boys will be home and things will definitely change around here.

Ashlyn's Famous quotes
-Ashlyn's room was being painted by a friend yesterday. When he was all finished she told him that pink and green are little girl colors so when she turns six she would like him to come back and paint zebra strips. (she turns 6 in seven months. don't think it will happen.)
-"Mom you ruined my life."
-After asking Ashlyn to get something for me--which she would not do, I told her that I would not get her breakfast. She quickly responed, "fine then, I am not going to marry my dad."
-Ashlyn told her Aunt Jen that her Dad's backside has fur all over it. Guess who is not allowed in the bathroom any more?
-Ashlyn got her foot stuck in the wheel of the wheelchair. After she stopped crying she said, "I got my foot stuck in the axel." I am sure she has no clue what that is.
-"Mom tell the nurses about me."
-"Mom I like dads, I like moms, but I don't like brovers." Boy if these twins are boys we are going to have problems.
-"Mom you frustrate me. You are being kind of bossy."
-"Mom are you still mad at me? If you are my dad is going to fight you!"
-I was laying on Ashlyn's pooh bear when she said, "Mom don't lay on pooh bear." I said, I am using him as a pillow. Ashlyn then said, "Mom pooh bear is not a pillow he is a pooh!" As usual, I guess I was told.
-"I was a little nervous about my ballarina dance."
-After putting her lipstick on me she said, "mom you look astinguished."
