Our "first" baby is home!!!

Wilma is home! Tuesday night after work Brian stopped and picked up our puppy dog and she is home. I wasn't feeling very well that day, and having her home made me feel so much better. And she must have brought a cure, because I'm feeling tons better now. She's transitioned back home well. Since Aunt Lisa was walking her with her new BFF Bella, I've tried to continue to do so. I walked her once in the morning and once in the afternoon yesterday, and we're going to head out on a walk in a couple of hours this morning. I'm going to try and walk her at least once, if not twice every day. Weather permitting. Once the babies come home it will be nice because I can bundle them in their stroller and take them out with her.

Last nights visit with the babies was nice. We got there on time for once for their 7:30 care. Maggie was in the middle of getting a scrub down. Not a bath, more like a sponge bath. She didn't like being all naked and cold, but once she was bundled she was so content! My amazing babies are growing so fast. Jack is 4lbs 2 oz! He looks so much like his daddy. He has his cute, chunky cheeks, his nose, his dimple below his lower lip, his lack of upper lip and his chin. Maggie is 3lbs 7oz! She is more of a mommy and daddy combination, but I swear she changed over night! Her little face is filling out and she has cute little puffy cheeks now. Her features are a little more like mine, my nose, chin, and forehead. I think she is going to have her daddy's cheeks and dimples. The babies still look alike, but we are noticing differences more each day. They definitely have the same eyes and smiles. :)

Today I woke up nice and easy, and early. First I woke at 2:30am (my body must be getting used to this middle of the night thing), but yesterday my doctor gave me the OK to skip my midnight pumping, so I rolled over and went back to sleep. Then I was back awake at 5:30am...and I'm officially up now. I'll probably try to nap for a bit, then I'm going to try and start cleaning up the mess that is our dining room. All the gifts and baby stuff we accumulated while I was in the hospital has been temporarily dumped there, and it needs to be addressed. I ordered the nursery changing table and the glider is supposed to be delivered today...so hopefully tomorrow and through this weekend I can get the nursery organized and put together.

For now, I think I'll cuddle up with my baby dog and grab a quick nap.
