Tomorrow's Big Day
We are expecting a lot of company tomorrow. We are going to have lots of grandma's and papa's coming. The girls are getting baptized on Sunday. They also have their aunt Laura, uncle Paul, and cousins Sydney and Sam coming. It should be a fun time! We are so excited.

Hi I'm dad, also known as Wes.
Well Nanny/Granny, what ever she wants to be called, (my mom) came into town last night. Her flight was delayed by about 4 hours and I had to pick her up around midnight. She is watching the girls today and is almost giddy about it. I asked her if she will be ok with the girls and she said yes.... I'll ask her again this evening... I expect a different answer LOL. Great-grandma (my grandma) , Great Aunt Sherry, Grandma and Grandpa Potter (my other grandparents) Papa (Melissa's dad), Grandma Elaine (Melissa's Mom - yes Elaine I know you hate that name! haha) , Laura, Paul, Sydney and Sam are coming in tomorrow for the girls baptism on Sunday. Should be a blast!....

I just decided that I needed to start blogging about life with our twin girls. Having a baby is a scary and wonderful time, but with two its even more challenging and exciting. Our girls are almost 5 months old now and it seems that time flies quickly! We love them so much and love watching them grow.

July 5
Lizzie is 5 lbs 7.2 oz
Gracie is 4 lbs 1.3 oz
Lizzie was gassy today. She also slept through breast feeding 2 times. The lactation consultat came and helped for one. She didn't really do anything different than what I did. It also turns out the infection in Gracie's eye is e coli. Also, 5 of the babies in the step down are MRSA positive. So, we all sweat to death to see our babies. Both girls are doing well. Lizzie is taking her 4 bottles a day and does well with the bottle. The breast is a little harder. Gracie is close to being able to take the bottle or the breast. Hopefully, Lizzie will click soon and it won't take Gracie long after. Once the girls get home, we won't really have to worry about the staph infection anymore. They will be just normal girls.

Lizzie is 5 lbs 6 oz
Gracie is 3 lbs 15.8 oz
Lizzie is now up to bottles every other feeding. She and Gracie have both tested positive for MRSA. That means Wes and I have to put on yellow gowns and gloves. It make us hot. I tried to breast feed Lizzie and she was too sleepy to try. Gracie tried an open crib today but got too cold and moved back to her isolet. They will try her again in a couple of days.
I asked today how long until the girls go home. It looks like a couple more weeks. We also saw my friend Brandi in the NICU. She delivered yesterday. Hopefully, tomorrow Gracie will be 4 lbs! On Monday, she gets to try the bottle again!
We left the hospital early today so we could go see fireworks. We met our friends the Halsteads in the Catholic church parking lot with my parents to watch. It was nice to get away. We have been so consumed by the girls and trying to get them home.
