Womb-Mates Together Again!

We are finally a family under one roof! We brought our precious Caroline home yesterday evening and had so much fun with both girls together. It feels SO good to be DONE with that hospital, with God's blessing that is. Rob and I had spent every single day at that hospital for the last 10 weeks straight. Needless to say, it will be nice to enjoy our babies in our own home, especially now that the weather is getting colder. They are doing great and keeping mom & dad on their toes for sure. Last night they both slept together in the pack n' play in our room. I don't know how long this will last because they both are such squirmers and squeakers! When I got up for the 2AM feeding, they both had squirmed their way towards each other and Olivia was practically on top of Caroline! And their non stop little grunts and squeaks they make keep me up pretty much all night (not Rob - he sleeps like a rock!). I'm afraid we're already off our synchronized schedule of them eating and sleeping at the same time because Caroline was screaming an hour and a half before her scheduled eating time and the only thing that consoled her was giving her a bottle early... so now she's been consistently waking up way before Olivia. Oh well, I knew there would be challenges and this is just one. It's definitely a little overwhelming tending to two babies at one time. Thank the good Lord my Mom is here staying with us for a few weeks. She has been super helpful by getting up with me for all the overnight feedings and making us home cooked meals so we have one less thing to worry about.
Here are some pictures from yesterday.

Audrey & Rob,

I'm so happy the ladies are home at last. I'm just upstairs and look forward to meeting them very soon. Also, my W/D is patiently awaiting any laundry overflow.
