Trucking along

We are at 5.9 kilos!!! Penelope is doing really well on her LTV and should be going on her actual vent she will be using at home today. The general practice is to require 2 weeks of stable improvement on a new machine before they can come home but our nurse practitioners are going to check with the pulmonoligists to see if a week would suffice since her settings are the same. We will see what's best for Penny!

Lydia is getting bigger everyday! She's trying to pull up to stand, she's talking (babbling) up a storm, and she is loving trying new foods. I wonder where she gets that from.

We are holding up alright too. Jonathan has been home for a couple of weeks and has one more at home before leaving for a month. He will most likely not be home when Penny comes home, which is a bummer, but we are trying to focus on the good time we have now. Both girls just adore their daddy. You can see it in their eyes.

Ok, I better get back to work (the only time I can find to blog is on my phone while my students are taking a test!) Lord knows I have to keep my job so that we keep our insurance!!!!

We tried to tell Lydia that the tutu should go on her waist. She said "not if you're an Indian princess/lion/Vegas showgirl"

We were having a tickle fight. I won.




Out and about and happy about it

Not sure who was having more fun



Ok that settles it.

  2. Oh my goodness! They are so cute! And I do believe I see little fat rolls on those Chu babies! What a blessing! Love them!

    (oh, I guess I should say that the fat roll comment was not designed to give them eating disorders... it was all about being so glad at how much they're growing!)
