They're here and things are crazy!

I promise to post more later, but I wanted to get it out there that my babies are here! They've actually been here for a few weeks now (7 on Thursday). It's been nuts since they arrived, and I've been awful about updating. So, I'm going to make an effort to be better about that. I'll start posting the back story little by little, but I'll give a rough summary now.

Our two girls arrived 10/29/09 at just over 36 weeks (pretty darn good for twins!), and they weighed 5lb 4oz and 5lb 13oz. Our little one is a fighter with bright red hair who gained her weight back at exactly 2 weeks. She has reflux (like her sisters), but she tends to aspirate it and scare the heck out of Mommy and Daddy! She sleeps well at night, considering her age, but she's quite feisty if she is hungry or mad. We're still looking for a nickname for her on here. Right now, I'm thinking that she'll be our baby bird, but I'm not sure

Our bigger girl has beautiful blue eyes and blonde hair. She's much calmer than her sister and more easygoing, but she doesn't sleep as well. She too has reflux, so we didn't get off easy with anyone! She took a little longer to get back to her birth weight because she had a stay in the NICU where she lost almost a pound, but she got back before 3 weeks. We thought we were in the clear when both babies were cleared right after birth, but we learned about 36 hours later that she had a pnuemothorax (small hole that developed in her lungs allowing air out and the pressure to be out of balance in her lungs). It's actually less scary than it sounds, but it was serious enough to warrant a 4 day stay in the NICU. I'll write more info later on how it all went, but I'll just say for now that it sucked! We're going to call her Bear for her nickname.
