Wireless!

The appointment with the NICU went well!  And as expected, the boys are now wireless!  It is great being able to pick them up and take them around the house without carrying their monitors!  I am certain they feel better without them on as well.  The Neonatologist also recommended that the boys get a 6th Synagis shot for RSV this year since the virus has been hitting the population later than expected.  Another shot for the boys :( but hopefully it will help keep them out of the hospital this season.  Other GREAT news - the boys are just starting (hope I don't jinx myself) to sleep through the night.  We have been reading the book "Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Child" by Marc Weissbluth for our sleeping strategies.  We have had several 7 or 8 hour spans of sleep within the last week - which means we have been getting a bit more of the much needed sleep as well.  With their longer spans of sleep it seems that they are happier and more alert during their awake periods during the day.  To any new parent - I would highly recommend this book.  It seems to be working for us - or maybe we just have good sleepers - just like their Daddy :)

Here are a few more pictures of the little guys.

The Walk in the Hood - you can hardly see the little guys in there.

BATH TIME

We hope the warm weather is just around the corner!
