It has been posted about in the prayer forum, but I thought I would also mention it here.
John and David were born on Monday the 7th by csection, arriving at 1101 and 1103 pm respectively. They were tiny--well, compared to my older dc. Weighed 4lbs11oz, and 5lbs2oz. Not teeny, but still smallish. They are eating reasonably well, not having any problems, we're just trying to get their weights up and their feedings to be well and consistently so. They aren't having troubles with jaundice, at least, not at this point, but that can change of course.
We're hoping that they might get home next weekend, but that is still in the air. Not sure yet.
DH goes back to work on Tuesday, my mom had to go home today, so I'm really trying to get some rest NOW, and tomorrow...cause naptimes are sketchy around here, and I am really going to need all of the energy I can get this week. Fortunately, we have pretty much got everything set up for the boys homecoming already. DH is hopefully going to be able to take some more time off when the boys actually DO come home, but with their deployment being moved up by a week or so, well, that's another one of those variables I can't figure in yet....
Please pray for all of us. The boys, that they gain weight and avoid jaundice, and me that I continue to recover well, and get rid of this nasty cough I'm dealing with...
TIA, ladies, and I'll try to update in the prayer forum as time passes and the boys get closer to coming home. And as energy permits. LOL
Rachel

UPDATE!!!!!
Tonight was DHs turn to go to see them...the nurse told DH that if the boys continue as they are, they may be home in a few more days. EEEK!!!! John hadn't gained any weight since last night (but she was just getting ready to feed him again), and David was up a bit from yesterday. This is all good news.
My cough is still bad. I am hoping that things will loosen up some. DH is going to get me the Rx cough medicine tomorrow....hopefully that will help me some...
Thanks for the prayers ladies...
Rachel
