Rich and Jenny Hunter: December 2012

The babes turned 5 weeks old today. It's crazy how time flies! I know that I haven't posted in awhile, but both Luke and Addie came home on the exact same day - Wednesday, November 14th. They spent a total of 17 days in the NICU and we are so happy they are home! They told us a few days before their discharge that Luke was going home, but Addie was still having a hard time feeding, so they thought she would be in the NICU for a bit longer. Thankfully, Luke came home in the morning, and Addie was able to come home that evening. Apparently twins usually aren't discharged on the same day (especially because they were in a separate hospitals), so it was extra special that they came home on the same day! Since they've been home, life has been a bit crazy but wonderful at the same time! My mom was here up until a few days ago, so it was a big help having three adults to two babies. Tomorrow Rich goes back to work, so it's the true test to see if I can handle two babies by myself for the entire day. Wish me luck!

Luke was too small to come home in this car seat, so they actually sent him home in this car bed! He was a whopping 3 pounds 14 ounces when he came home!

Luke, home at last!

Luke and Addie, together at last!

The babies were weighed last Monday, and Addie weighed 6 pounds 12 ounces and Luke weighed 4 pounds 11.5 ounces! So, in 10 days Luke gained almost an entire pound which is amazing for his little size! He is such a champ at eating, and is a really mellow baby, except for when you mess with his feeding. Addie is such a little cutie and gained half a pound in 10 days. She is starting to get a little bit chubby and I love it! It's been almost a week since they were last weighed, so I can only imagine that Luke is 5 pounds and Addie is now 7 pounds. It's crazy how quickly they grow!
