One Week

The first week has been a blur. It seems like yesterday that we were admitted to the hospital here. Zoe and Sawyer are about the same today, no major news. Zoe had a poopy diaper which means that her system is moving things through a little bit. Sawyer gained a little weight last night too which is great news. He's back to his birth weight now and we are just hoping that he continues the trend. They are very restful, getting used to life in their new homes.

The doctors tell us that the next couple of weeks will probably be full of ups and downs as they try to mature the babies along by testing them a little bit. We are trying to prepare ourselves for that and stay strong for our little ones.

They are so different. Zoe has a darker complexion and dark brown hair and Sawyer is pale pink with a speck of blonde hair on his head. We are patiently waiting to see who they resemble as they start to grow.

Thanks for all the prayers and love.
