Last night Jason and I went to see the babies and had such a great time!  I called the nurse before we came to let her know I was coming and to see if I could help with their cares.  She said I could and that we could hold Brynlee if we wanted to.  I said twist my arm, I guess so.  She looked so cute and did very well the whole time.  We could only hold her for about 20 minutes but it was great.  Afterwards the nurse asked if I would wipe off her mouth with these lemon flavored cotton swabs so I did and she LOVED it.  She started sucking on it and sticking out her tongue to get more so Jason came over and got another one to let her have some more.  It was funny though because afterwards she was salivating so much that I don't think that she had clean lips for very long.    

They both are doing very well.  Lyza was put on steroids 3 days ago and it really helped with her lungs.  Today they plan on extibating her and putting her on the c-pap.  She is still on the antibiotics for her infection but she is still getting a lot of secretions in her lungs and nose.  Hopefully she'll be able to kick this and get better.  

They both weigh 3 lbs 4 oz. and Lyza is 15 inches and Brynlee is 15 1/2 inches.  They are looking so good and a lot bigger.  They are twice the size now than when they were born.  

This will make Marge happy...We bought a new camera last night but forgot to take our memory card.  DUH!  But there will be more pictures coming up.     

Thanks to everyone who has been watching our kids while Jason and I go see the babes.  We REALLY appreciate it!!!

Hey Kamie! Thanks for your comments! Yeah, good thing for hair dye huh...I've plucked a few grays out already. It's kind of freaky!! Do you have any!!??
Anyways, I love hearing the updates on the babies. That is so cute about the lemon swabs...most babies love those! I'm sure it's so refreshing to their tiny tongues :)

It's weird to think they are only three pounds but yet have doubled in weight! Put me on the babysitting rotation...I'm in whenever you need me!
