Welcome Home Evyn & Hayden!!

This post is long overdue since the girls have been home about 3 weeks now, but I have found that a free second is hard to come by :). "Multitasking" has been the operative word around here lately and is something I hope to get better with each day (or each feeding).

Evyn came home on November 6th and Hayden came home a few days later on the 10th, after having cought a minor virus which she needed to be well from before leaving the NICU. Both the girls have been doing very well since they've been home. Their second well child check up was today (we can't believe they are already about 2 months old), Evyn weighed in at 6lbs 8oz and Hayden is now 6lbs 2oz!

Jett has really taken to his big brother roll, he love's rubbing his cheek on the girls' cheeks and talking "baby talk" to them.

Halloween at the NICU

You are never too young or small for a fun Halloween get up! The NICU staff outfitted all the babies in the unit with adorable blankets, onsies, and socks!

Halloween 2008

In search of the perfect Halloween costume for Jett, we had or hearts set on a Pirate (since he's running around all the time yelling out "Arrgh!" while seeking out a "pirate treasure chest"). After having no luck getting one in his size, I stumbled upon a Fireman costume and thought it would perfect, (Fire fighters are his second favorite heros after Pirates). I kept the costume a secret until Halloween afternoon. He was SOOOOO excited when he saw what he was going to wear and has only taken it off once (to got to bed) since we put it on him. We had such a fun time taking him through the neighborhood, but were nervous about how we were going to convince him to come inside when it was time to go home. As it turned out, he told us he was ready to go home after we had been to one and a half cul-de-sacs!
