Still alive...barely

We have just finished week 2 at home and we're still at it. The girls are doing well, getting cuter and bigger. We're just still waiting for their hair to grow in from their NICU haircuts. Elle now weighs 6lbs and Melia is 6lbs 13oz. As you can see Elle is still sporting her feeding tube and is refusing to give it up. She teases us somedays by eating really well but that doesn't seem to last long. The doc and nurses tell us that this is really normal and quite common but it isn't making anyone feel better about it. It would be nice to feel normal, with no tubes or meds but it is our reality for the moment. We are getting a routine which consists of my mom helping out when Tige is at work. Her help and company has been unbelievable amazing and I can't imagine that I would have made it without her.
