Well the girls are still going. Elinor is up to 4 nonfeeding tube feedings a day, which is great. She sucked a bottle right down from me this morning. Matilda is still at 2 feedings a day. Each little lady must be able to take 8 feedings a day before they can be discharged. The nurses say it's a developemental thing and once they get the hang of it they make huge leaps. They are both now officially over their birth weight with Elly in at a whopping 4 lbs and 7 oz and Tillbert tipping the scales at 4 lbs 5 oz. Watch out women's wrestling federation we're comin!
The big news of the weekend is that Matilda is in an open crib and out of the incubator! That's great news for cuddling because now we can hold her anytime and aren't restricted by concern for her temperature.
The other big news is that there was an opening next to Elinor and so the nurses moved Matilda over so the girls are right next to each other. Mama Abby, Ma-Mabby to her friends and well-wishers, finally got to hold both girls at once. Visual conformation that they might be slighly identical.
Anyways, things are looking just fine and we'll just take a little more time.

wow! what great pictures. I'm soooo glad things are going well. They look adorable together and I must say the WHOLE family shot was great too.
Can't wait to see you all when you finally get them home.
