Happy Mother's Day!!!!

Today is Mother's Day and it is my first!!! I feel so lucky to have my little girls be born so healthy and beautiful. They both are in the same crib today and that was a nice surprise. Brenna is on a different formula now so she can gain more weight. Chantrell also is on a different formula with soy in it. She might be lactose intolerant like me. I try to bring in little bottles of breat milk for the girls, but I don't make enough to feed them eight times a day. Hope all my sisters, nieces, aunts, friends and my mom have a great Mother's Day today.
The girls sleeping together in the twins crib. They are very happy and content to be together.

Getting ready to change and fed little Brenna. She is usually wearing a yellow hat in most pictures.I am changing Brenna and there is not much in it. Usually when Barry changes her, she gives him a big surprise. Today, he got to change Chantrell and it was only wet.
Me holding both girls together. It is a great feeling to hold them both at the same time. I am so amazed that I had them in my tummy. They are getting bigger every day.
A smiley picture of me and the girls.
Barry, aka Wolverine, who needs a shave is holding his little girls.

Vince, Anna, Olivia, and I are here oohing and aahing over the pictures and videos. Thanks for posting them. We love the updates and our new family--nieces and cousins. P.S. The family wants to know if the girls are identical or fraternal. PSS The girls want you to know that they weighed 8.4 (Anna) and 8.14 (Olivia). They think your babies are teeny tiny. :)

It is more real to see that you actually have twins when we see pictures of you guys holding both babies. WOW!!! When do they say they can come home? I'm planning on coming on the 23rd which is Friday, after day care kids go home. I need to call the airlines and finalize things, so I'll let you know the details soon. I hope they'll be home by then. My ticket expires the end of May, so get healthy babies...LOL Love Deb

Hi Erica, the doctors said the girls are identical because they shared the same placenta. There is a test that I can give the girls when they come home. You send for a swab kit and take some salivia from their mouth and then turn it in to a company who tests the DNA. Chantrell might come home in the next two days, fingers crossed. Little Brenna might have to stay for another week. She needs to learn how to drink from a bottle every feeding. I'll keep you posted.

Hi Debbie, we are looking forward to your visit soon. Chantrell will probably be home when you get here. The nurses say that she pulled out her feeding tube and now she takes a bottle every feeding. Little Brenna might need another week learning how to bottle feed. Sometimes she gets so tired she has to have the feeding through her tube down to her tummy. Give us the details of your flight and Barry will come to get you.
