Maggie's stint is OUT!!

It came out this morning around 7:45am. Thank God it is over with. She did not do as well coming out of the anesthesia as she did last time. She was hysterical this time and they couldn't calm her down. We could hear her in recovery screaming and I got very upset because they wouldn't just bring her to us. One of the docs came by and asked if I was alright and I said "NO!" I can't stand to hear her screaming like that. He went back and told them to take her IV out and bring her to me. As soon as she saw us she stopped crying. As soon as she got nested in my arms she went to sleep. Poor thing. She is doing great now. Sleeping alot but otherwise herself. She ate good once we got home. We are all just tired from getting up at 4am!! Hopefully this will be one of those nights that both girls sleep all night.
Funny twin bond story: Nattie was in a dead sleep in my arms while kids were screaming all around us. As soon as she heard Maggie crying she woke up and was terribly upset. That upset me even more!
Thanks for all of your prayers!
Erin P: I followed your blog for a long time right after your twins were born last year while I was in the hospital waiting for mine. I cannot believe they are almost a year old!

Maggie is doing....

WONDERFUL! You all were right when you said babies are so resiliant! It is like she never had major surgery. She is happy and smiles all the time. She keeps us laughing because she smiles so much. She has a dimple in her right cheek and it is just so darn adorable you can't help but just laugh at her. She is going to be the one that doesn't get punished when she really should because she is making us laugh!! We call her Smiley!
Both girls are very close to sitting up on their own. Still NO TEETH!! But they, especially Nattie, have been so irritable and chewing on everything. I can't keep Nattie's hands out of her mouth. I wish they would just pop on thru and give them some relief. Orajel is helping although they hate it.
I'll post some pics soon.
Gotta go somebody is crying!
