OK...To catch everyone up. Emma and Eli were born 10 weeks early. Twins tend to develop faster than a singleton, so when they came out they were doing quite well and were a good size for their gestation. Emma was the first one out and she weighed 3 lbs 2 oz. She came out screaming which was a relief. Eli was a little harder to get out. He was holding on with all he had. The doctor had to stand up and push against my body to get him out. He weighed 3 lbs 11 oz. That was 5 weeks ago, Friday! What a blur! Emma now weighs 4 lbs 15 oz and Eli weighs 5 lbs 15 oz. They have come along wonderfully. They have been moved to cribs instead of heated isolettes and they both get to eat from a bottle. Eli only gets a bottle twice a day whereas Emma gets a bottle every 3 hours. When he isn't getting a bottle he gets his food through a feeding tube. We still have a journey ahead of us, but they are getting closer everyday. Thank you for all your prayers and please continue to pray! They are so perfect and we thank The Lord everyday that he trusted us enough to give us such a blessing!
