MOMS: Bringing Them Home

Well, I'm a day late, but it's a little chaotic @ our house right now.  We are in the process of moving to Arkansas and I have been single mommying it up for awhile now. 

We were one of the fortunate couples who totally avoided NICU, so we got to bring our babies home with us when we left.  I had a c-section and so my OB kept me an extra day b/c my blood pressure decided to sky rocket AFTER the babies got here :).  I was huge swollen and my b/p when they discharged me was 160/93.  I was definitely nervous to be going home, but I had a b/p cuff @ home to check it and so they sent me on my merry way.  The twins were born on Monday and we went home Thursday morning.  It really was pretty uneventful coming home.  Billy's mom and stepdad were here and that was stressful for me, but they left on Friday and it was just my mom and I and the babies for the weekend.  We were able to get them well established on their schedules and that was our saving grace!!  It was a little rough @ first b/c it took awhile for my milk to come in, but once it did it was pretty smooth sailing.  I was tired those first couple of weeks, but I was also busy soaking up my babies b/c I knew that I was going to go back to work in 6 weeks.  Here's a few pictures of our last day in the hospital and the trip home.
