It amazes me that my girls are 2 months old already. Not anything as I imagined the first 2 months of their lives would be. And yet, we have all grown a lot in those 2 months. As Joe said, we’ve gone from “oh my, very premature” to “when do we get to take home our 4 almost 5 pound bundles of love”. Needless to say, I’m getting anxious.

The NICU is going to sound like a hopping casino in the next day or so, because the girls were given a new range to keep their oxygen saturation. It moved from 79-90% to 86-94% - a smaller and more difficult range to keep your sats. So, the alarms were dinging a lot. But that was pretty much the only change. I did hold Maggie this afternoon after practice and while she got her nutritional food – that was nice as we haven’t had much quiet hold time lately. And then I had promised Evie I would read her a story one of these nights, so that’s how I tucked her in tonight.
