The girls & mom taking a cat nap

Well here we are two days shy of 5 weeks old and it's nothing but good times at St. Joe's ...I wish! We almost made it home to Met hospital in Windsor, but due to a baby boom overnight our beds were taken and our transfer was cancelled at the last minute. I was of course devastated and Tige took over the anger role, we are prepared to do what we have to but it was like taking candy away from a child. I was really nervous at first for the move but the more I thought about sleeping in my own bed and being with Tige all week long the more I wanted it to happen. Apparently the whole province had no beds available for preemie's so atleast we are secure here. My mom stayed with me last week while Tige was away which really helped keep me occupied until Tige came back. The Ronald McDonald house has some 'classy' folk staying here which is making the living situation pretty trying as well. It doesn't seem to be a relaxing place anymore, they've marked their territory all over the lounge and kitchen area and we don't have anywhere to relax anymore without getting irritated by them. Surprisingly there is only four of them but they have really disrupted the everything. Needless to say this makes the extra time here really hard to deal with.

Now let's talk about our baby girls. Elle weighs 2lbs 9oz and Melia weighs 3lbs 4oz and they are both doing relatively well. They are absolutely adorable and make us gush with love more and more everyday. Melia is really loving her soother which is great, it helps her strengthen her jaw which is preparing her for feeding. Hopefully in two weeks we can practice breastfeeding with her. Elle is starting to practice sucking as well but her mouth is so small still, it's so cute to see her try. We probably won't be heading to Windsor for atleast another week or so now due to some tricks that the girls are pulling. They apparently like it here, I just wish they would not misbehave in order for us to stay.

This is my favourite picture, Melia got the world's worst haircut for an IV and even though I felt this way about it, she thought she let us know how she felt too!!
