No more IV's!

The kiddos are off the IV's, Katie is off the drugs -- just got to get the kids on the boob now and we are on the path for getting home! They are spending most of the day in the room with us today which is awesome because its really our first chance to have them side-by-side for an extended time and with Katie coherent enough to know what is going on.

The pics with my finger and hand are with Rylan. Their heads literally fit in the palm of my hand. Crazy how tiny they are!

Pics and update

Well, this evening has been a slew of good news. First, they told us Katie was being taken off the magnesium, which is the drug they've had her on for the liver problems she was having. It was making her very woozy and ill-feeling. They took her off it and within an hour she was no longer cross-eyed and could sit up some without wanting to puke. :-)

Then they came and told us that Rylan was off oxygen, and both babies were close to being done with the IV's. In fact, they basically turned them off and are only leaving them in just in case they need them again - this way they can avoid having to poke them again. Both babies spent a few hours with us in our room tonight. They have made huge strides in only two days!

I've posted some pics from the last day or two. I'll post more as we get some.

KAMRYN FAITH and RYLAN SCOTT

Kamryn Faith Braga and Rylan Scott Braga arrived Sunday, March 1. Kamryn was first weighing in at a wopping 4 lbs 13 oz and 17.5" long. Rylan came second and beat out big sis by weighing in at 4 lbs 14 oz and the same length, 17.5".

This is some video we got the night they were born. They've already changed a lot since then so we'll post more pics and video later. Mom and babies are doing well -- just looking forward to leaving the hospital soon and getting home!

Update

So I have been getting in trouble from family and friends for not updating my blog more, so here it is. The babies are growing like weeds, at our last appt. they were both weighing over 4 lbs which is the same size as a singleton at that stage. So they are not lacking in the weight!!! They are very active and so much fun to watch(i know, they are still in the belly, but it's cool). I am officially uncomfortable, the back pain and the sleepless nights are getting to me. I really can't wait for our babies to be here so I can hold them and kiss them ALL the time!! WE are once again shown how wonderful our friends and family are. Troy's work threw him a MAN SHOWER(pics will be posted soon). He had to wear a bib rattles on his wrist and had to drink his beverage from a bottle!!! It was quite fun!!! They gave us some wonderful gifts and are just so supportive and uplifting to us!!! WE are soo lucky to have such wonderful family and friends!!!
WE are down to the count down!! Approximatley 3 more weeks until the arrival of our bundles of joy! I can't beleive how fast the time has gone! But we are ready, as we ever will be!!! I will post some pics once I get them!!!
