Whoo-Hoo! Today we move into "The Sharing Place" -- a residential facility in the parking lot of the hospital. Yesterday, Chris and I went in for only 2 feedings with Elias and Gabriel so that we would have time to pack for the move. Between pumping and getting back and forth, we are getting really used to late-late nights and early-early mornings -- even when we are away from them. We are trying hard to take advantage of the time to get a little rest, but it is very difficult when all you want is to take your babies home!

Chris returns to work today. He is set with pictures and a relatively good night's sleep. Kathy will be taking an infant CPR class this afternoon and hopefully one of us will be able to make our Sharing Place check-in Meeting on time.

Elias and Gabe continue to do well. They have continued to gain weight a little at a time. Elias is a breastfeeding fiend and seems to have no trouble regardless of when you feed him. Gabe is getting the hang of it a bit more slowly and occasionally decides that the breast is a pretty warm, cozy place to snooze rather than eat. :-) but even on these days he will take a hi-flow nipple on a bottle with

no problem. Both remain amazing miracles for us. Chris and I are both enchanted with them. We wanted to say thank you again for all the kind wishes, prayers, cards and gifts. It is wonderful to get your messages of love and support during this time. It really means more to us than we can say to know there is a whole world outside of the Special Care Nursery who know and love Gabriel and Elias - and are sharing in their progress with us. Whoo-Hoo -- now I need to finish packing!!! :-)
