Were still here :)

Jaxon and Chace





Jaxon staring at Chace


Little Chace Monster

Our new life :) and we wouldnt change it for anything!!!!!
I tried updated blog last wednesday and I wrote this really long nice blog and for some reason it kicked me out when I tried to save it so i was boycotting it for awhile...lol. Anyway everything is going very well. The boys are so happy to be back together. Honestly as soon as Chace came home Jaxon started eating better and sleeping better. It is crazy. they are both gaining weight very quickly. We weighed them last night 7-2-11 and Jaxon is 5lbs 4oz and Chace is 4lbs 6.6oz and these weights are on our hospital scale., the dr office scale reads them a little heavier so we will see what that scale says. Going by our scale both boys gained about 5 ounces since Wednesday 6-29-11. Found out the boys had thrush and of course now I have it from breastfeeding :( So all of us are being treated... They are getting such personalities. Chace is so fiesty especially when he is hungry...hmmm reminds me of someone i know (Daddy) and Jaxon is so laid back he could care less. We gave them a bath yesterday and video taped it, as soon as we figure out how to put it on our computer I will upload to the blog. They still are just eating, pooping and sleeping so I dont have alot of new pictures, however because Chace is finally starting to put weight on and is getting chubbier cheeks the boys are looking more and more alike :) Justin and I are still getting used to the not sleeping thing. He goes back to work full time Tuesday so this ought to be interesting for me trying to feed two babies. They are breastfeeding pretty well, still not taking a whole feed though I still dont know how to transition them off of the bottle that we supplement with if they dont take enough by breast. I'll be glad when I dont have to pump every time or feed them with a bottle every time afterwards, that makes feedings last way to long and by the time we are done we have to start all over again. Well thats it for now. Another dr appt next week. They will be one month old on Tuesday, hard to believe that much time has already passed. I do want to say Thank you for all of the wonderful care and support the NICU nurses at St Vincents gave to us and our boys why they were there. They are amazing and aside from the oxygen that Chace has to be on for a little while they are healthy and growing. The nurses, neonatologists and Nurse Practitioners there are so caring and so good at what they do. They helped bring my little miracles home way earlier than we all expected!!!! Thank you again.
