The Girls Are Home!

Bailee and Rylin are finally home! Here is a picture of our sweet babies sleeping in their crib together. Bailee is on the left and Rylin is on the right. We are so glad they don't have to be in the NICU anymore. Since they were born, they were keeping their body temperatures up, and had no problems with their oxygen or their jaundice. The only thing we were waiting for was for them to start eating better and gaining weight. They both had feeding tubes in their noses. They were being tube fed every other feeding. But Rylin started eating better, so they decided to take out her tube. As soon as they took out her tube, Bailee ripped hers out! So they decided to leave hers out as well and see how she did. Both of the girls did great eating after that. Rylin got to come home on Tuesday, and Bailee came home on Wednesday. Luckily, we only had to leave little Bailee for one night. It broke my heart to go home with Rylin and leave her there. After trying the "carseat test" three times, Bailee finally passed, so we got to pick her up the next day. The NICU took such good care of our little twins, but we're so glad they are home.                                                             Bailee

Makee got to meet his sisters for the very first time. We weren't sure how he was going to do, but he was so sweet! As soon as we brought Rylin home, he said "Baby!" He was very interested in touching her and looking at her. When we put her up in her crib, he kept going upstairs and just looking at her. He kept throwing her little beanies and toys in her crib. One time a rubber duckie kind of hit her head, and he said, "Sossu," which means "Sorry." Makee does not use that word very much! The cutest thing he has done is when the babies were sleeping in their bassinet in our bedroom, he kept peaking behind it and popping up saying, "Boo!" Every night before he goes to bed, Makee has to say good night to "Ry-Ry and Bay-Bay." That's what he calls them. And then he says, "Yuh-you." (Love you). What a sweet little boy. First thing in the morning, he says, "Babies," and he has to say good morning. He has been such a big helper. He loves to bring us diapers and throw their diapers away. And he loves helping feed them. I'm sure the "newness" of the sisters will wear off a little, but so far, Mak has been a very sweet brother. I know Rylin and Bailee are going to love him so much.Bailee Rylin

It has been so sweet to watch our little girls. They are already acting like twins. As soon as we brought Bailee home, Daniel's mom was hold one baby, and Daniel was holding one. They put their little heads together as soon as they were next to each other. Then we went upstairs to check on the babies. Rylin's head was resting on Bailee's little chest. When we lie them next to each other, they turn their faces toward each other. I hope they will always be the best of friends. Oh, we love our sweet little girls. We are so excited to have them home!
