Almost 2 weeks old ...

Hallie and James are almost two weeks old and things seem to be going pretty well in the Hill household. Jason was home to help the first week we were home and now my parents are here this week. We've been lucky that Ruby loves going out with her grandparents -- they have gone to the mall and the children's museum. I think Ruby is wearing them out just as much as they are wearing her out!

The babies go back to the doctor tomorrow for a weight check, so we will see how they are doing then ... but, what I'm sure you're all here for -- more pictures!

Parents FTW!

(For the win)

Night two - 1000% better than night one. Ruby slept like a champ, the twins had a great night and mom and dad got some sleep. Ruby is off at "big boy school" this morning and all is well in the Hill household. Twins are both back over 6lbs after seeing their doctor yesterday.

Night One

Children 1, Parents 0 was the final score. Ruby didn't want to fall asleep until 10pm, then woke up at 2 to "help", and fell back asleep with Dad and the twins at 5:30. The twins didn't want to nurse at all. One call to the Doctor for Jessica, and one precious moment with Hallie, James, Ruby, and Dad in the rocking chair in the twins room. These two teams will do battle again tonight. More at 11(tm). Really, we're doing well. We have awesome friends who are pulling together a brigade - we can't say thank you enough.

Home

We're home. Jessica and the twins are exhausted from the trip. Ruby didn't want to nap today, so she's down for a short siesta currently. (Whoops, time to go wake her up). This is Jason, signing off.

I'm a Big Sister!!

Ruby came by the hospital today. She was very excited to see all of us. Here are a couple of pictures of the event. We'll have more up when we get home (or when Jason does another upload some evening).

Day 2 - Hallie and James

Day two went much like day one. Sleep, eat, burp, repeat. The babies are fine too. (Good humor from Dad tonight I guess). Our friend Matt stopped in to see us this afternoon. He's great at holding babies. We really tried to make sure he knew he was welcome at the house anytime after we come home to help hold babies !! Of course - the reason you're all tuning in. More photos! Here are a couple from today.
