We were released from the hospital the Tuesday following the delivery. Both girls! We had to take a CPR class and have Abigail on a monitor but aside from that, they said the girls were doing wonderful at suckling and eating, especially for being only 35 weeks.
We also had to get car beds because the girls were both under five pounds (Hannah is now almost too long for it). They are actually really neat, the girls just lay down in them instead of sit up.
We went to the doctor on Wednesday, to check Jaundice. And had to go back on Thursday. All was well and we didn’t have to go back to the hospital.
Monday marked our first "real" check-up. The girls had gained back to their birth weight! Remarkable for preemies. Usually it takes three to four weeks. The doctor was thrilled. Hannah had also grown an inch (from 16 to 17 inches) and Abigail as well (from 15.5 to 16). We went back again on Friday for their two week appointment and found that Hannah had grown to five pounds three ounces (which I predicted exactly :) and Abigail was three pounds 14 ounces (I was one ounce off). Hurray! I didn't realize how much they had grown until I put pictures onto Wal-Mart’s site and saw how skinny Abigail looked.
We are all doing well. Dad is run down. But I'm making him rest and take Zycam, vitamin C and drink OJ, as well as eat. But aside from that, we're loving this. Aside from the no sleep thing. We're not nocturnal yet. But we love our girls so much! And we both are loving being parents!
