I've had all intentions of making this post several times over the past 3 1/2 weeks...but, believe it or not have just not been able to make the time to do it!
Laney & Madilyn were born February 10 at 7:51am and 7:53am. The 10th is a pretty special day in my family because it's my Uncle Charles' birthday. We all miss him so much and it really means a lot to have our girls share his day with him. They would have really adored him! Madilyn is the big sister, both in age and size! She weighed 5lbs 14oz and was 19 inches. We just love her chubby cheeks! Laney is definitely the little sister and my little baby! She weighed 4lbs 110z but was also 19 inches. She may be the smaller one but she won't be having this for long. She's doing all she can to catch up to her big sister!
The girls were born just two days shy of 37 weeks but made it apparent that they needed a little longer to bake before they were ready to face the real world. Saturday was our day to come home but we found out early that morning that the girls weren't going to make it. It's so upsetting to think about leaving your precious little ones behind! They had both lost about 10% of their birth weight. They were put on a high calorie formula to beef them up and we had all hopes of them coming home the next day. Unfortunately we found out about 1:30 am Sunday morning that both girls were being readmitted back to special care because neither of them could keep themselves warm!
We've been busy these last few weeks...getting to know these little angels and trying to adjust to our new rolls as mommy and daddy! One thing that Casey and I are so sure of is that we are so truly blessed to have these little ones! You just can't believe how the first time you hear that sweet little cry (or cries in our case) will change your life in an instant!
