1 Week Birthday!

Yesterday, Friday October 15th was Reese and Grant's 1 week birthday!  They are both doing really well, with no major problems. 
Reese got her feeding tube out today!  yeah!!!!!  Not sure when she will get to come home, or if they will have her stay until Grant is ready too, we'll keep you updated!
Grant is still not wanting to do too much more than sleep.  He is getting there slowly but surely.  We can't wait to bring them BOTH home. 
Right now we are only trying to really hold them during feeding times, in hopes that this will give them enough rest so that they can eat like champs!

Update on Day 6

Reese and Grant still need to learn to eat, then they can come home.  They just get too wore out and want to sleep, so they usually are not finishing a bottle.  Reese did finish a bottle last night after their bath.  She loved the bath, Grant was not so fond of it. She pulled her feeding tube out again after her bath, check out the picture of  her with Michael!
No more Billie light for Reese (jaundice lamp), she did that one day and seems to be fine now.  Grant may be getting his circumcision today or tomorrow...oooowww he  is NOT going to like that! 

They're Heeeeeeeeeeere

Announcement. Announcement! It’s BIG ANNOUNCEMENT TIME!!!
With Dr. Seuss as their theme, I guess this should rhyme.
Today in the evening they came from the womb.
When he saw them, Their daddy gave a thunderous “BOOM!”
A girl and a boy, what a sight for the eye
Both Mommy and Daddy could do nothing but cry.
Their babies were finally here in the world
If Mommy were standing she would dance around and twirl!
Reese Reagan was out, with her first breath to start
Her precious little life, and she stole Daddy’s heart
Right after she appeared, and not to be outdone,
Grant Chaffin was out! Awww! Mommy’s little son!
Their cries rang out loud, filling the room with much sound
But nothing could knock Mom and Dad from their cloud!
Their family complete to be filled with lots of love…
All thanks to Angel Chaffin watching from above!

Mommy is in a normal room now at Barnes. Hours to visit are 11 - 9.
Reese and Grant are in the special nursery. They are both being given antibiotics and their blood will be monitored for 48 hours to make sure everything is ok. Reese is also on oxygen. She wasn't getting enough, so they have her on it for now as a precaution. They will ween her off slowly. :-)

And now for some Pictures!!!
