Long time no write

Wow.. it has been a long time since I have written here.. I'll sum things up.
Jake and Annabelle were born via c-section June 11, 2008. Annabelle was first at 2:20 pm weighing in at 5 lbs 14 oz and 18.5 inches long.
Jake was born at 2:21 pm, weighing in at 8 lbs 1.8 oz, and 19 inches long.
Jake had to stay in the NICU for 5 days due to trouble breathing and fluid in his lungs. Annabelle was in for 3 days due to fluid in her lungs, then released to the newborn nursery. SHe was then taken and had to be put under billi lights to reduce her billirubin count. We all came home after 5 long days in the hospital.
I was able to stay home for 9.5 weeks with the babies. After that, Doris came and watched them for 3 weeks while we were back at work.
Today was the first day that Hope watched the babies. Hope is our neighbor three doors down. She is now 6 weeks pregnant and hopefully will be able to watch the babies throughout her pregnancy. I am very nervous and really wish Mom could watch them permanently, but need to give this a few days to settle in.
Thank God Dan and I are both home for two days a week. Tomorrow will be a long day for Hope and the babies. Let's see.
I wanted to open this back up as a sort of diary... let's see if I can keep up with it.
