Got diapers?

It has been two weeks since I was last on here but I guess I have a good enough excuse. right?! So here is the latest...Riley is still not home! As of today the doctor is saying possible Thursday she will be discharged from the hospital. However, I have been hearing this for the past week. One day one doctor will tell me she is coming home and then the next day a different doctor will be working and will say otherwise. Needless to say it has been very frustrating. She is doing great, her only issue if just for her to be a bit more coordinated when she eats. Rarely she has "episodes" where her breathing dips while she is eating because she eats too fast and forgets to breath. Its not really a big deal and it is totally normal for preemies, however, the doctor will not let her go home until she stops doing this, even though when Lindsay came home she was doing the same thing and eventually grew out of it. Hopefully my next post will be about her coming home!

Last weekend my family threw Brian and I a co-ed baby shower. There were about 75 people there and the invitation asked everyone to bring a package of diapers to help us out. As you can see from the picture below, we received so many diapers and are so thankful. We also got different sizes which is great. Everyone was betting how long they will last us...the consensus was about 3-4 months. I will let you know...
Here is their cake a family friend made...

Now onto the little ones that are home. It has been 2 weeks since Joey & Kayla came home and so far so good. My mom stays the night about 4 days out of the week and the other nights I do it by myself (with the occasional help of Brian when he doesn't have to work the next morning.) I have been keeping them on the same schedule which is making everything a lot easier. Here is a picture of Kayla....

The two of them...
And here is a picture of Riley taken the other day. Well the babies are calling so that's all for now. I will try to post more soon if they let me! :)
