Hooray for Today

I have been looking forward to this day all week - the twins are coming home tonight and I will be SO happy to have them back with me. I have missed them so much - I have done much better the past couple of days, but Saturday through Tuesday were quite tough on me. Just ask Jeremy - I kept babbling about how they must not miss me at all because they sounded so happy on the phone, etc. Jeremy was so concerned about my emotional state that he left early from his second job on Tuesday night to make sure I was okay. And then Wednesday morning these showed up at the front door



They are SO beautiful - definitely the prettiest ones he has ever bought me.

This morning we thought Livvy was waking up while Jer was getting ready for work and so he picked her up and she went right back to sleep so I told him to just put her in bed with me - well, she slept & slept and I ended getting up to eat breakfast and just as I was finishing up my cereal she started grunting and crying a bit so I went in the bedroom to get her and this is what I found:



She has started pushing herself out of her blankets, but she took it one step further and pushed herself out of her nightgown - it was so funny - she just looked up at me with a look of defeat, her arms were stuck to her sides which she hates, and there was nowhere else for her to go.

So mom made things all better and fed her and gave her a bath, doesn't she clean up nice?




She has been quite the little grower during her first week at home - at her doctor's appointment on Monday she had grown 1 1/2 inches and gained 8 oz. Her little face is filling out and we aren't quite sure how much longer she will fit in her newborn clothes. She is an amazingly sweet baby and we feel so blessed to have her in our home!
