May 29, 2007...Together again!

When I went to the hospital today, the boys had been moved (per my request). We are now in a little corner spot, where both of their isolettes are and a chair for me. It is very crowded, but I can see both at the same time and hold them together without having to unhook monitors and get portable ones.

Jake has a PICC line in still and I was going to wait for it to be removed before I held them together again, but I couldn't resist. I was holding Jake and Robby was watching and fussing quite a bit, so I had the RN put Robby on my chest too. Robby kept staring at Jake and checking him out. Jake wasn't too interested and slept most of the time. I put Robby's arm around Jake and Robby pulled it back, made a fist and put it up to Jake's chin. It was pretty funny.

Both are doing well. Jake is back eating again and is having a bit of a hard time pooping, but he did a nice healthy one tonight for me (after getting a suppository). Jake went ahead of Robby in weight today by just a tad bit.

For the first time tonight, while holding both of them, I realized I might have my hands full! But that is just fine with me. The other thing I was trying to imagine while holding them was if they were both in my belly...I'd be huge! I wouldn't have minded and would have preferred that, but I know we can't have everything in life we want and I'm just dealing what was dealt to me and thankful they are both as healthy as they are.
