A few weeks

A few weeks have passed since the last post, but so much has happened. At the end of the last post, we were sure Eva was coming home. We made the preperations, but Eva decided she didn't want to leave her brother and had some complications. She ended up staying another week, and then came home. Matt went to pick her up because I had a crisis at work. She joined the family and filled part of the puzzle that was missing.
For the most part, we love having her home. The 2:00 A.M. feedings has become a sore spot in our marriage. We both think the other should be doing it, and is the cause of many sleepy arguments!!! But, then, as I look down at her sweet face as she sucks her bottle down, I remember how blessed we are to have the opportunity to have a 2:00 feeding and I hug her just a little tighter. I was really bummed that I couldn't take time off work to be with her until she was big and healthy enough to go to daycare. However, after much prayer and soul searching, Matthew and I decided that if she couldn't be with me all day, there was only one other place that I was sure she would get the most love, attention and care that she needed. Off to grandma's house she goes!! I feel so blessed that I can go to work and not even worry about her. She is in the best hands, and I suspect Grandma has a direct line to Jesus, so I can't think of a better place for her to be.
As far as her development goes, she is a three month old, trapped in a newborn's body. She is, for all practical purposes, a newborn baby. However, the doctor says by the time she is a year old, she will catch up.

Nicholas on the other hand, wasn't so eager to come home. He has had issues with his breathing, and given us several scares.
But, he finally decided early last week that he was tired of the hospital, and started getting better. She started yanking his oxygen tube out, and wanting to breathe on his own.
He started eating his bottles, and acting like a real baby! By the grace of God, and the prayers of our loved ones, we expect him home in five days.

I have to post some pictures soon!! Thank you all so much for keeping up with our journey.
