This week has been full of events and I can't say thanks enough for all the thoughts and prayers for the girls. Deciding on names was a lot for stressful than I could have ever imagined. A c-section was nothing like I expected and still can't figure out how these two little ones (as small as they are) came out of that slit in my belly.
I am finally back home and sleeping in my own bed. Not only was it hard to leave the girls but now, my meals and round the clock care has shifted to Dad's duties so we will see how that goes. It has been a much harder adjustment for Dusty. For the last 3 months, I have gotten used to waking up every 2 hours to eat and go tot the bathroom so my sleep schedule is fairly normal for my new lifestyle. His on the other hand is far from it and I think it has been a difficult adjustment. His mom was down for a few days and the last few hours before we took her to the airport, in the middle of a conversation, he passed out on the bed. I felt bad and know he is tired so hopefully, he can get some rest before the girls come home.
Both girls are doing well. Both are breathing on their own and just have the c-pac to help them with the pressure. Brooklyn might get hers off today and Brylee soon after. They also started to feed Brooklyn yesterday and will increase feeding amounts as the days go on. They might try to feed Brylee today.

Yesterday I was actually able to hold Brooklyn and can't even begin to describe the feeling. She just curled up and fell right asleep on me. I didn't want to leave. I have to admit I felt a little bad for Dusty. He has done so good with all the changes and been there every step of the way and he just had to sit next to me and watch me hold Brooklyn. I know inside he was just dying to hold her but he just sat back and watched. Hopefully, today I will get to hold Brylee and Dusty can hold Brooklyn.
This is Keturah's sister. Just wanted to say WOW and congrats on the babies. It sounds like you are doing great. It is ok if you aren't, but you definately sound great.
