Saturday they had us stay in at the hospital and take care of the girls all ourselves, Then Sunday morning they said we could take them home. WOOT, So here we are living it up and partying with our baby girls at home. Ok ok I wish I could say it was like that actually its been quite a challenge keeping up with them. When we went in on saturday we brought a bunch of stuff with us thinking we would have 24 hrs to spend just doing nothing. Yeah we didn't get to any of it nor did we get any sleep. We had a rude awakening at how much work two babies were gonna be as compared to just one. We would just get Jade all settled down and we would think we would have a little time to do whatever and Sofira would start stirring, then when we got Sofira all settled down a few minutes later Jade would start stirring. After about 5 or 6 cycles of this we started asking ourselves now wait a minute when are we supposed to have time to sleep? Thus why I'm writing this now instead of 2 days ago. Were starting to get the hang of things but its been a struggle working through it. I'm just grateful Grandma is here too help because when I go to work Beth really needs her help.
So the girls came home on Oxygen and Monitors. The monitors are really annoying beeping all the time at us mostly because they keep coming undone or the leads fell off. There is only one volume to the monitors and that is Fire Alarm Loud. So this is what adds to our struggle we get both girls down but then the monitors start fussing at us as well. Jade likes to go into a deep sleep where she doesn't breath as good and so her monitor goes off frequently when she gets like that. We have two big tanks of Oxygen with really long tubes so we can carry the girls wherever throughout the house.
All in all its fun to have them home but definitely a struggle that were getting used too.
Congrats you guys
