Having some post-surgery issues that are probably nothing, but I am paranoid and my doctors are cautious, so I am on bedrest again until Monday when I can get in to see them. The big bummer is that I found out about this right before my parents were coming to pick me up so we could go see Jake and Abby with my aunt and uncle. I know this is for the best in the long run, but man does it stink having my freedom taken away again so soon after I got it back! We're going to try to do the big meet up again next Saturday.
In happy news, I'm very grateful that I got to see our babies this morning for a few hours and introduce them to their Uncle John! He said they were bigger than he expected, which is an awesome compliment for preemie parents to hear. Everyone was on their best behavior for him, and for our friends Matt and Lauren who came to meet them after John left. Matt was brave enough to hold Jake for awhile and they got along great.
Baby updates of the day:
- Jake is *this close* to weighing 4 pounds! Maybe tomorrow. In the excitement of that fact I forgot to ask Jeff how much Abby weighs now - of course he is the "numbers" parent - so I'll update on that next time we see them.
- Jake's IV came out today, he still has the heplock in like Abby but every tube and wire less they are connected to is a cause for celebration.
- We saw Jake and Abby in clothes for the first time! I have bought some things for them - not too many because they'll hopefully outgrow preemie size around the time they come home - and we were waiting to bring them in until the nurses confirmed it was okay. So excited to see them in some of the things we picked out soon!
- We took some cute pictures today, I'll post those soon.
