One Week Old

Well, more like 10 days by now, but close enough! Adrian and I are baffled by how much our sons change each day. Each day, we can't wait to see them, hold them and love them. Honestly, it has been hard for me to leave them each day, even though I know they belong there for now. The good news is that they will likely be coming home early next week...no word on the exact day, but next week is just around the corner. We can not wait to have them here and to be full time parents.

The boys had a nice visit with one set of grandparents over the weekend, and this week some other family has come to visit as well. They are still waiting to meet lots of family, but we are only allowed 2 visitors at a time. As soon as they get home, we are sure that lots of people will be coming by to meet them and love on them! Unfortunately, with cold and flu season upon us, we have to be super careful not to expose them to harmful germs. Their little lungs are susceptible to infection easily, so we hope to keep our home as germ free as possible!!

We were hoping to give the boys a bath over the weekend, but that did not happen as planned. We needed to wait until their cords came off, and today that happened! So, hopefully, we will get to give them a bath tomorrow. In the meantime, the nurses have been giving them sponge baths.

Both boys have had their feeding tubes removed, and on Monday, Diego had his nasal cannula removed as well. It is so nice to see their precious faces with no gadgets attached. They are both taking their entire feedings from a bottle, and when I am there, they are both nursing really well. It is a learning experience for us all, but we are getting more and more successful daily.

Below are some pics from this week. Don't they look cute??
