Hi folks,

Hooray, William is now in the CCN next to Grace! He was moved in the early afternoon yesterday, after a bit of musical chairs (cribs). David was at work and I was eating lunch at home before the afternoon nap so we missed this first. We know, though, there will be many other firsts and we are so thankful that the babes are together. The CCN nurses love the babes -- say they are cute -- we love hearing this! William is struggling with the fortification of breastmilk a bit, as we have previously have written -- so you folks who pray, please add this to your prayer card (so to speak).

Grace was put into a cute outfit yesterday, a nightie, and I took it off this afternoon down her feet and had the wires wrapped around the outfit to change her diaper. We have much to learn about coordinating wires and clothing along with diapers. I was mortified at first and then thought it better to just laugh. I'm sure that the nurses were wondering what the laughter was about!

Both babes are slowly gaining weight -- William is almost back to his birth weight (3-15) and Grace is just a tiny bit behind William's weight. They both have deep, deep blue eyes and stare so intently at you when awake. Grace especially has found her voice when she does not want to changed, weighed, or have alcohol on her umbilical cord. It's only the beginning!

We had another lovely dinner, this time with our good friend, Anne, last night. And of course, my Mom cooked a fab pork tenderloin. Maybe we should consider publishing menus along with pictures and commentary on being new parents! We enjoyed that Janice H came by the CCN yesterday and finally connected with us and saw the babes. We hope that her Mom is recovering quickly and will be coming home soon.

With our tummies full, we bid you adieu,

David, Victoria, Grace and William
