update

My girls turned 2 weeks old yesterday. I don't know whether to say they are 32 weeks or 2 weeks old.

Neve was moved upstairs to the annex. That means she's doing better than Soleil. Neve has also started feeding from a bottle, much to her chagrin. She hates it, but she's doing it. The next steps for her are regulating her body temp outside the isolette and exclusive bottle feeding.

Soleil is still on and off the c-pap, her breathing isnt always wonderful. She is now off the phototherapy because her numbers went down... but the girl hates the cpap tubes in her nose. I don't blame her. Her feedings are much better than Neve's though

You know what I realized? I never believed that parent could love their children equally. I always thought you might favor one a bit more than the other. But I realized that I love them equally but differently. They both have their own magic to them, something so special.

My friend's are throwing me a baby shower either next week or the week after. It will be nice to see some people that I have not seen in a while. Since I couldn't have the shower during my pregnancy, we'll have one now.

Oh, and I am now up 35 pounds from my pre-pregnancy weight. I hope the weight starts coming off......but all that matters is that my girls were a good weight at birth, my weight will come off eventually.

The continued updates are great! I hope that baby shower goes really well and you get all the stuff you need before you take those two little girls home.

You are very wise and insightful about loving your girls. Have a great shower!!! Don't worry about the weight - it is only two weeks!!! I got down to my pre-twin weight about four months after giving birth, and I had gained 67 lbs. Scary, I know, all that weight.

It's hard having babies in two different nurseries. That was the hardest part for us. Go see baby A. Baby A is sleeping. Wait around. Still sleeping. Go see baby B. Baby B is sleeping. Go back to baby A, she woke up and the nurse fed her. Go try to catch baby B's feeding. So frustrating! May it be a very short time before they are home and all yours!!

It sounds like they are doing really well. Hope they continue to do so. Have a great baby shower.

Don't worry about the weight. You've gained far more than silly pounds!
