The doctor came around this morning and heard a murmur in both girls' hearts. They originally only heard one in Olivia, but today found a soft murmur in Caroline as well. They said that I should not be overly concerned at this time, as the valves could close on their own in time. But both will need to get an echo soon to take another look. Other than that, the girls had a good day. Both had a couple of brady's today, funny how I come to almost expect them to happen every day. I hope they grow out of these episodes soon. This daily hospital routine is really wearing on us. Rob and I have spent every single day at that hospital for the past 8 weeks and 5 days now (including my inpatient stay while pregnant). We miss them terribly after kissing them goodbye each night, such a strange feeling to have to leave your children in someone else's care every day. It's almost like we're not even their parents yet. People tell me to enjoy this time of "free babysitting" and restful nights before we bring two needy babies home, but we actually want the WHOLE experience of having them here at home with us where they belong. I'm their mom and I should be the one there to comfort them when they wake up at night, and we should be the ones taking shifts warming bottles and changing diapers at 3am. We actually want all of that because it's part of being a parent. I know our time for this is coming, but I can't help but feel like we're missing out on some of it.
Here are a few pictures of our visit with Grandpa Richard and Grandma Linda over the past couple days.
