I keep thinking of posting pics for everyone to see but these little peanuts are quite time consuming! We discharged from the hospital last Wednesday afternoon and had a follow up with our pediatrician on Friday. Both girls lost weight which is expected but they now weigh 4# 8oz which is pretty tiny. I've been attempting to nurse them and initially supplemented with some formula until my milk came in at the end of the week. It's a pretty challenging schedule to keep up especially in the middle of the night cause it seems like as soon as we finish nursing, supplementing and pumping that we have to start again not long after. So far only Poppy is latching most of the time. Eve is struggling to get it right and so we always attempt it but then she usually gets a bottle of my pumped milk afterwards. We've got a home visit by a lactation consultants this week to help with the feeding issues. And next visit to the docs office is at the end of the week.
Esme and Chan are handling the transition really well. Thankfully our family here has been SUPER helpful with taking them to school, picking them up, going on their field trips, making us meals, running errands, picking up groceries, etc. We couldn't do it without them!
One more shot from the night they were born...
Going home. The adventure begins!
The girls barely fit in their carseats. The chest buckle is at about their mouth level. It doesn't look comfortable but they passed their carseat trial in the hospital (cardiac and oxygen monitoring while in the carseat for an hour).
First night sleeping at home.
The girls!
Love their little legs!
Tummy time together.

Just for perspective, Poppy is laying in a size 4 diaper.
