So Thankful!!
We are just so thankful for our baby girls! They are doing so well! We went to the NICU clinic yesterday for a check up. The neonatologist continues to follow them for the first year which is really awesome. He is so pleased with how they are doing and just had wonderful things to say about our babies. Caroline weighs 8lbs 4 ounces, Abby weighs 8 lbs 1 ounce. They are just getting so big right before our eyes! We no longer have to give Abby medicine..her jaundice is gone and her bilirubin levels are normal! We praise God for the little miracles He has given us!
We are also so thankful for our family and all the help and support they give us. Caroline and Abby's Aunt Courtney has been staying with us during the week and hanging out with me and the girls. It is just so wonderful to be able to hang out with my sister daily and to have 2 extra arms to hold, feed, burp and change a baby! Caroline and Abby love having her here! She has sacrificed sleep (getting up every 3 hours to feed the girls) so that Michael can get a good nights rest before work! She just started her new job at Egleston as a Child Life Specialist. She will be amazing with those children! She is so sweet to still come spend the night on the days she isn't working. I have the best sister in the world!!
With Aunt Courtney starting her new job, Gramma and Nana have been over to spend the night and help me out this week. I know I'll have to start caring for the twins by myself at some point...but I'm so thankful we've had so much help while they have been so little! We are so very blessed! It is also so encouraging to have everyone checking our blog and following our girls progress. It is so humbling to think of all the sweet people who have and continue to pray for our family. Michael posted some new pictures a couple of days ago so check out the photo gallery.

Michael and Catherine,
You both look great and you are doing such a wonderful job with your girls. We are so grateful that Abby and Caroline are doing well and will continue to pray for their health
Stay strong and know we are praying for all 4 of you. Catherine, I pray the girls will be sleeping for longer intervals during the night really soon ,but I am so grateful that God is giving you the peace and strength to care for your babies as they need. Thank you for keeping us updated. With love, Jane Huffstetler
It's great to hear the continued progress...wow!! over 8 lbs. each!! Enjoy each day and don't forget the "tummy time"...I know Catherine knows the importance of that!! I love seeing the pictures...brings back memories! Thanks for sharing your experiences with us.

Trent showed me how to keep up with you and the girls. I check it weekly and love hearing their progress. You are in my prayers daily. They are truly your miracle girls. God bless all of you.
Glad things are going well at home with the babies. I've enjoyed popping in now and then to read about how they are doing. So glad Courtney has been able to help. We miss having her in Athens. She used to babysit for us. She was the fist person we left our Natalie (#4) with. :)
