The girls are home

Sorry once again for not posting but we are so busy now with the girls. The are home and doing good. They were sent home with Apnea monitors and that has been an adjustment. I never thought that I could handle some of what God has allowed us to go through. Both girls have Apnea spells nightly, however Isabella has about 6 a night. She corrects herself on her own and all we have to do is mainly stimulate her by touching her face or by rubbing her feet. This week we go back to the doctor for a growth check and they may have to go on some medication for Apnea. Leon and I are so exhausted but blessed. It has been wonderful to have my parents here to help run the house and to get JT and Hannah to there places and to maintain teenagers schedules. Both JT and Hannah have been so helpful with the girls and our home life seems to be very full and peaceful. I have just decided to stay in my pjs all day that way I can just crawl in the bed when the girls are napping. I am still breastfeeding every three hours so we have to sleep when we can.

My family gave the girls a shower in Salisbury, NC even thou we could not be there. Isabella and Sophia have been on visitation restriction until they get a little bigger and their immune system gets stronger. Our house has turned into "germ a phobias", and we constantly are washing our hands and trying to stay germ free. They are just now at 37 weeks (born at 32, therefore 5 weeks old) and should be able to be cuddled by our friends and family at around their due date when they would be 40 weeks.

We have been so blessed with our family and friends and especially for the meals they have been a lifesaver. We have updated photos on facebook and I will try to figure out how to add more to my blog. Thanks again for all the prayers and continued support. We are truly blessed!!!!
