Charlie and Griffin Pictures


Our sweet baby boys, Griffin (L) and Charlie (R).  I try to hold them together unless
 they're eating because they really seem to love being with each other.  Today they slept on me for a few hours with noses touching,  TOO CUTE.  I think they look a lot like little Irby as a newborn, except skinnier.  Charlie now has his IV out, and hop
efully Griffin will be close behind once he gets up to his max feeding this weekend.  They were increasing his feedings a little more slowly because he spit up a bit more than Charlie at first.  Both are holding down their food great now though and gaining about an ounce a day!

Getting to snuggle both my baby boys at once!  (Charlie-L, Griffin-R) They LOVE it.  I can't wait to get them home so they can be together (they have separate cribs in the NICU because of the 
monitoring wires).

I've got Charlie, Irby's got Griffin.


Charlie loves his Daddy.

And only because you asked...twas the night before Charlie and Griffin...

Irby visits us...he was far more interested in the hospital bed going up and down than seeing pictures of Charlie and Griffin.  He isn't allowed in the NICU beca
use you have to be 12, and they are being extra-strict with all the swine-flu stuff, so he hasn't even met his new brothers yet!  He'll get his fill soon though.  He looked at me today and said, "Mama, the babies are born right?" (I said yes to which he said) "Did your belly POP?"


Ahnie and Papa down by the river, our favorite spot.  They drove up from Alabama as soon as we told them the babies were coming.  It was a HUGE blessing and an enormous help with Irby while we were in the hospital, we were extremely thankful to have them here (and I'm pretty sure little Irby put on a few lbs. while they were here:
)



My mom just left today, and Kirsten arrived.  We'll be on our own for next week, but I think when we'll really need the help is when the babies come home.  My mom will come back, it will be really awesome to have a Dr. in the house with these tiny sweet babies.  
I think next time I post, I'll just post a link to a slideshow, that seems to be quicker than trying to get the pictures right and lined up.  Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but it takes forever!
Thanks for your prayers, we're continuing to pray for good eating so the babies can get bigger and come home soon!  I can't wait to have them here with us:)
