Ryan feeding Keane a bottle
Family picture: They make you put these gowns on when you come into the NICU
Keane {left} and Gracie {right} half alseep as usual!
They loved laying together: We asked the nurses if we could have them laying together for a picture and of course they said yes: these are some of our favorite pictures so far!
Here they are sleeping in their little "beds" they loved to be swaddled up, they are so cute!
Now the babies are just waiting in the NICU being observed by the doctors and making sure they are eating well and putting on weight: It is like they are in the regular nursery {same beds, no tubes, etc} but with just a bit more watchcare! We are thankful for this! They are both taking all of their feedings by bottle now and each day the amount is being increased: They should be able to come home with us in a day or two! YEA!!! Keane is a little stinker and wants to sleep ALL the time so yesterday it took him almost 2 hours to drink his 1 oz bottle!! We were there and so Ryan and I and two nurses took turns feeding him: at this point he is more interested in sleeping than eating! Gracie does a bit better with eating and is faster than her brother but is also slow and falls asleep in the middle of each feeding too! We are going to go and see them again in about an hour:

Man! They are so precious!! What a blessing! I love how they like to be near each other - how cool!
Aashini would sleep through her feedings too - haha! It used to take forever!! I would tickle her feet, her ear, the back of her neck - ANYTHING to keep her awake - it was funny! :)
They are so adorable! I can't wait to meet them!!!
They are precious! Congratulations Mom & Dad! I'm so glad delivery went so well.
Congratulations! We are soooo happy for you all. A family of four... wow! We love you and are praying for those precious little babies. God bless!
Wow you guys! Gracie and Keane and sooooo precious. It doesn't seem possible that they're here already...seems like not very long ago when I was in Kathmandu and you found out about them. Anyway, just wanted to congratulate you. Wish I could see them in person!
SO glad that things are going so well for you and your new little ones! We well understand how hard it is to leave a baby in the NICU, but we are thrilled for you that they are progressing so quickly. We will be pring that they are able to come home with you very very soon. Hang in there and try to get some rest in the meantime - you will need to be all rested up when they do come home!!! :)
