My apologies for not updating any sooner. Things are hectic in our house as we're doing last minute projects to have the house ready for the girls. They are doing great- Lily is weighing in at 5 lbs 5 oz and Claire is 3 lbs 14 oz. Their growth in the past couple of weeks has been amazing. Claire is now in a crib (like Lily has been) and both girls are off all oxygen. It's so nice seeing them without nasal cannulas. They are still working on their feedings. As soon as they are able to take all feedings by mouth, then they get to come home. Depending on the day/how sleepy they are, usually determines how much they decide to take by mouth. The nurses say that this usually takes the longest and is the most frustrating. Probably because we're SO close to home, and waiting when something is within reach seems to take forever. We had a professional photographer come in to take photos of the girls. So far we've seen the sneak peak pics, and they are adorable. Zane also was able to hold Lily and Claire for the first time-- it was pretty special, even though I think he was a bit scared of hurting them. Here are the photos:

    They are gorgeous! The last picture of the girls together just takes my breath away, they are so precious! The picture of Zane is so very sweet! I know when Nick was in the hospital the most frustrating thing was the eating. Sometimes he would do great and then he wouldn't and we would push the date back when he could come home. I know its tough but they will be home soon. All of you are always in my thoughts!

    I have just come across your blog - two years after the girls were born - and am in awe of everything they (and you) went though! This particular entry date is special to me: My granddaughter Claire was born on June 20 (2014). Her mother's name? Lillian :)
