We are six and a half weeks into having 4 kids and it's going well. I would be so much more overwhelmed if my mom didn't live above us. She helps each and every day with all the kids whenever I need it. My biggest frustration right now is oxygen.
Both babies are still on their oxygen. They have both passed their car seat test but failed their overnight test. So, we have to wait until next week to redo that test for both of them. The doctor has given us the green light to take off Elaina's during the day when she is awake because she basically passed her overnight with the exception of one 45 minute span where her levels dropped low and stayed low. It has been nice to be free of the tubes during the day at least, but I can't wait for both babies to be completely off of oxygen! I remind myself often that I need to be thankful that they don't have any serious health problems. It could be so much worse and I realize there are parents out there dealing with problems way bigger than this.

Mommy was away so Katie got to help feed Joel
Addie "breastfeeding" her twins (she came up with this on her own:-)
"an update for anyone who cares...." WE care, Larae! I care and I know many, many others do, too. Thank you for taking the time to update us. As far as Addie breastfeeding, Grace definitely did that after her little Sister was born and my niece did the same. So cute!!!!
