Last Day In The Hospital

Hello to one and all. Today will be the last full day in the hospital for us as they will be releasing Denise and Elizabeth to my care tomorrow morning. We could have went home tonight, but Denise and I decided to give it a few more hours. Her pain has been more intense today and we hope to maybe get a little more sleep tonight. Last night we had Libby in our room all night as they had some problems with a newborn last night in the nursery and felt she would be better off with us. We will see if we keep her all night tonight or let Libby sleep there and come in for feedings.

Libby is getting us trained very well. Last night she wanted to eat about evey hour and a half, which made for a very long night. We eventually had to break out the bottles and supplement the feedings with them. Then today when the lactation nurse was here, Libby would sleep for 3 hours (yes, great nap time) and only eat for about 15 minutes. Needless to say, the nurse was not too happy about this, but what can you do if she just doesn't want to eat? Now tonight, she is back on her feeding frenzy.

My sister Stacy made it up here with the twins Abby and Maddy today to see Elizabeth and Denise. They claim they were also here to see me, but somehow I have a feeling I was playing second fiddle. And you know what, that is okay!

Here are the only two pictures I got today. The first one is of Denise's OB/GYN, Dr. Michelle Mirau with Elizabeth. She is great!

The second one here is of Aunt Stacy and Cousin Maddy with Libby. Unfortunately, Abby didn't want anything to do with the camera at this moment!
So, that is about all from here for now. We want to thank everyone for their well wishes and good thoughts and prayers. We feel truly blessed. We hope everyone has a great weekend and the next blog update should be from the comforts of home!

Love
Troy, Denise and Libby
