May 10th Update
It's been nearly a week since Catherine and Charlotte came home. Boy what a week. Grandma Marilyn and
Grandpa Charlie finally arrived from their trek across the country and have been a wonderful help.
We're calling this update "The Spaces That Were." What used to be Erin and Michael's home, is now Babyland USA.
The Spaces That Were
This used to be our living room. Now it's the Baby Rest, Relaxation and Welfare Facility.
It doubles as the Baby Accessory Manufacturing and Assembly Line.
This used to be our bathroom. Now it's the Baby Bottle Preparation, Sanitation and Cleansing Station.
It also doubles and the Baby Nourishment Distillery and Distribution Facility.
This used to be our bedroom. Now, its the Infant Nocturnal Slumber and Diaper Replacement Ward.
It also doubles as the Parental Unit Sleep Deprivation Stress Testing Facility.
This is our Field Operations Guide and Instruction Manual.

And last but not least................Henry.
And finally, we bid our long time family member Cato farewell after 13 years. He was the topic of many conversation
and, although it's hard to say he was a good cat, he was our cat and we'll miss him.
May 4th Update
They're Home !
We spent the night at the hospital last night and were very pleased to find that we could take both girls home this morning.
They're now resting peacefully (for the time being) in their own home in their own beds. Now for the onslaught of doctors appointments.
Coming home.
You can see just how excited they are to leave....zzzzzz.zzzzzz.zzzzzzz

First time together since birth.
Home sweet home.
May 3rd Update
Unfortunately, we still don't know exactly when the girls are coming home. So, as of today it seems they both
may be coming home tomorrow. But, we'll see. We're spending the night at the hospital tonight in hopes of bringing
at least one home tomorrow. In the mean time, here are some more pictures. They'll be one month old on Friday.

Happy Catherine

April 27th Update
Unfortunately, no one has made it home as of yet. Both girls are having little spells of apnea, which is keeping them from coming home.
Currently, at least Catherine should be home next Friday, May 5th. Both girls are eating very well and gaining weight. They're both
healthy and happy and making positive progress. We're very excited to get them home as soon as possible.
Here are some more pictures and a movie.
I dare you to tell me this isn't the cutest thing you've ever seen!
(The above is a movie file. It takes awhile to load.)
Catherine Eating.....again.
Catherine Sleeping....again.
And guess what....more sleeping.
Hey look at this...More sleeping! (This is Charlotte though.)

April 20th Update
A couple things; I'm starting to put the newer updates/pictures at the top of the page so you won't need to scroll down to see if there are new updates.
If you look above, just under the "Guest Book" icon you'll see a date which notes the last update for your reference. It's as easy as that.
On to the news. Catherine is coming home this Sunday the 23rd. Both parents are to spend the night with her alone in the hospital the night prior to
make sure they know how to handle all the baby stuff. Charlotte is still a little on the small side and will remain in the hospital for awhile.

Followed by a little smile........
