Here is a quick post of our little ones.
The first picture is Catherine and I in the Operating Room (just in case she needed a c-section which she didn't).
The second picture is Catherine with Bryant in her left hand (your right) and Caitlyn in her right hand (your left).
The third picture is Caitlyn in the Nursery. She was 5 lbs. 12 oz.
The 4th picture is Bryant in the Nursery. He was 6 lbs. 2 oz.
Here they are together to meet mama again after being cleaned up. Caitlyn is on the left, Bryant is on the right. He paved the way for his sister, so his head is quite a bit more oblong than hers, and he has a Jewish Kippah-shaped bruise on the back of his head (poor guy). You can't really notice that in this picture though.
It is currently 1:35 am (Saturday morning). Both Caitlyn's and Bryant's blood sugar levels were low. They both got a feeding of formula to boost it, then a booster I.V. (one dose). That booster IV brought Bryant up to normal sugar levels, but Caitlyn was still struggling. So, Caitlyn is in the NICU on a constant IV and has to stay there through the night until she can manage her blood sugar levels on her own. Bryant is currently in the Nursery, and will be brought into our room to sleep with us at about 2:30 (he has to get some routine things checked, then they'll bring them in).
Catherine is exhausted. She did a GREAT job today, and deserves plenty of rest. I am so proud of her. She is doing fine (other than medication induced exhaustion).
We are unexplainably happy to finally have these little ones here. Bring on the sleepless nights ;-)
Hope you all enjoy!
