Our First Week at Home with our Two Princesses

G-Pops holding little lovey for the first time. :)
Gigi and G-Pops love.


First diaper change at home!!! :)


Daddy is a professional! In the NICU, we would trade off doing diaper changes and taking her temperature during touch times. That is normally a job that is not coveted my parents, but we couldn't wait to do it since it meant we could touch her. :) :) :) 
I hope we never lose that perspective...


Sister thought that sissy needed a toy! :) 
She always checks on her... :) 
"Thriller, thriller..." ;) 

One of my favorite pictures. This is an unedited and beautiful outtake from my little mini-photo shoot on our first night home! This girl is so gorgeous. We are so blessed to have two precious girls!!!
Big sister was entertaining us from the couch! :)

There is a whole lot of love in this picture. 
My three favorite people....so thankful for them.


Love. I just can't say enough about how amazing B has been through all of this. And now we have two little girls that LOVE their Daddy! :) 


sissy kisses.


My view = amazing :)
Snuggles with my little while my big girl naps! #ignorethetiredlookmyheartissohappy


girl time!!!!! :) :) :)


Gigi and the girls! So thankful that Gigi and Mom Mom were able to spend those 8 days with us. They took care of Ave for us in the hotel so that we could go back and forth to the hospital for all of Felicity's touch times! NICU life is pretty unpredictable. You never know what is in store for the day until the orders are written and the shift change has happened! They were so flexible, and we are so grateful!


 Daddy and the girls!


Sweetest love just snoozing away. She loooooves to stretch out!!! She had to be in a constant swaddle because of all the wires on her in the NICU, so now that we are home, we try to give her time out of the swaddle to stretch out, and it's her favorite!
 Precious love. Although she still looks pretty jaundice-y, when we went to the pedi on Tuesday, her bili levels had gone down even more since we left the hospital. She has also gained five ounces since we have been home! She has certainly turned into a voracious little eater! She is in the middle of her first cluster feed/growth spurt right now! We are almost back up to birth weight! PTL!


She always needs to check on sissy! :)

 little beauty!


Sweet one already loves chevron! ;)


First time in the bouncer!! Thank you, Timber, for letting us borrow yours! :) Ave would NOT sit in hers, but this little love really likes it! 


Big sister has been so helpful!!!


Little sister still sleeps a lot--well, except at night, but that is okay. Cluster feeds and day/night confusion never lasts long. I'm just so happy that she is home!!!!


My heart overflows. 
Love my girls so much. :) 
Newborn pictures and sister pictures coming up next. My amazingly talented SIL is designing birth announcements for us, so I want to save my favorites for that! :) 
Can't wait for next week! Time is already flying...
Love my girls.
