Jen delivered just 60 hours ago and it seems like it was just about 12 hours ago. Time is flying since there is never downtime at the hospital. If you dont have family/friends visiting its nurses. If its not a nurse, its a tech, not a tech, a doctor, room service…. etc. you get the picture. busy busy busy.

For that reason we get even less sleep than if it was only just two kids (listen to me ‘only 2 kids’) I guess thats how you feel if you see moms/dads in the hallway having problems with 1 kid. Now double that, *ding* thats us. We’ve been pretty lucky so far. The hospital has a new ‘naptime’ policy where at 2-4pm they dim the lights, and try to limit visitors and dr visits during that time. They also encourage kids to the nursery so mom/dad can get some sleep in. Today we napped for about an hour + since the first time we got here. As much as we want the kids to be with us, we’re no good to them if we cant stay up and help them.

Speaking of the kids, they’re doing well. Day 1 they werent really feeding all that much, but now both Tyler and Hailey have really taken to the formula. I have *no* idea how moms that have had c-sections would be able to breast feed 2 kids. Even w/ just me feeding with the bottle it takes 5-15 mins per kid to get them full and burped, at anywhere from every 2.5-4 hours, and they said that breastfeeding they eat more often. Thats just insane, and really tough of mom seeing she just recovered from major surgery herself. Jens doing awesome. She’s walking around now, and we just took a stroll through labor & delivery to see whats goin on over there.

Everyone here has been so awesome, and so helpful. They even encourage us to take the kids to the nursery at night so we can sleep. They’ll be plenty of time to spend sleepless nights at home. Although it was far from home, I think Jen made the right choice by picking Edwards. The dr’s and nurses have been great. We’ve even seen some faces we’re familiar with from the pre-labor trips we made here, and even our instructor from our Managing Multiples class.

They even have a professional photography service that comes through to take pictures to capture babies first week. We ended up getting a cd of awesome images. Here they are http://mikecompton.com/pics/thumbnails.php?album=55

Well its late and I think we’re going to take advantage of our baby-free evening 

Jen says HI and thanks for all the love, support, and generosity that you’ve showed us and our new babies. Hailey and Tyler really appreciate it that they’re so loved by everyone.
