TWINS

I have not had a lot of time to post pictures since the twins were born, so here are pictures from the week after they were born up til this week. Hope you enjoy!

Cameron and I got discharged from the hospital 4 days after I delivered. Unfortunately Ella Claire was not eating well and had to receive some of her feedings via a feeding tube. So she had to stay in the hospital in their special care nursery and I would go in daily to visit and spend time with her.
Neil would also visit her daily when he was done with work

Cameron had the crib all to himself before she came home


I found him like this one morning... he didnt seem to care!



Ella Claire was still not eating well, but her doctor agreed to let me take her home with her feeding tube so that we could work on bottle feeds with her at home. We were SO HAPPY to finally take her home. Cameron went into the hospital with us on her discharge day so he could go home with her.
Finally leaving!! The grandparents were glad to have both the babies home.. that way they could each hold one!

I looked over at them one day while they were sleeping and found them holding hands...
TOO SWEET!

All dressed up on Christmas in their cute Christmas shirts that Melissa gave them and their cute socks from Ashley

Play time on their gym that their Aunt Sarah gave them.. they love it!

Hanging out in their bouncy seat



Ella Claire is FINALLY eating better and I took out her feeding tube this weekend... She is so much happier now!

Hanging out with Cameron who won't wake up for the picture.... Braxton has been having a really hard time adjusting to the twins. He did really well the first couple of weeks. Then all of a sudden he became frightened one day when one of the babies was crying. Now when the babies cry he starts to shake and will not stop. He spends most of his day hiding under the bed so he does not have to be around them. We try to assure him that they will not hurt him, but he is soooooo scared of them. We are giving him extra attention right now and reminding him how much we love him. I remind him daily that he is not being replaced by the twins... and then I tell him that even though he is scared he is going to have to accept the babies because they are not going anywhere. This was his reaction........

Kelly- OMG I cried when I saw them holding hands...it makes me very sad that I won't see them for a while :( They are sooooo cute! The pics are awesome. Tell Braxton not to worry, he could never be replaced. He will get used to them. Love and miss you tons, Sarah
