One month old!

The babies are one month old already!  Time is just flying by and we are trying to enjoy each and every second.  We went to the doctor today for a weight check.  Oliver weighed in at 9 lbs. 4 oz. and Vivian weighed in at 6 lbs. 7 oz.  We are going to decrease Oliver calories because he is such a big boy!  Oliver also has a little clogged tear duct in his right eye so we got some antibiotic ointment we will be putting on his eye for the next 5 days and hopefully it will clear it up!  We've been hanging out during the day while Daddy works, Aunt Amy comes over to play with cousin Josephine because she still is enjoying her summer vacation!  We are getting our routine down and trying to stretch out our time in between feedings a little bit (especially at night :)).  Thank you all again for the phone calls, text messages, emails, and love and prayers.

Vivian trying out a new pacifier (sorry I couldn't figure out how to turn the photo).

Josephine is the pacifier bandit...she'll try out any pacifier she can get her hands on....this one is Oliver's.  

Shanae came over to take one month photos of the babies...they were sleeping in the basket waiting.  

Out for a walk in the stroller limo.  

Oliver likes to go for walks.

Vivian enjoys walks too!

We are getting in the groove here at the Hursh home.  We've enjoyed time outside, been on a walk, played with our cousin Josephine and taken many "naps".  Here are some more pictures of our daily activities.

We're HOME!

...and by "we" I mean all 4 of us! We knew on Tuesday it was a possibility but we didn't want to get our hopes up. However, Wednesday afternoon 7/14/2010 (our 3rd wedding anniversary!) all 4 of us came home from the hospital as a family! The first night...sleep was minimal for Matt and I but the babies slept great! Last night there was more sleep had by all. It takes a little bit to get used to the babies grunts, squeaks, stretches, and squeals while sleeping (because of course the babies are sleeping in our room!). Getting up every 3 hours has been a bit of an adjustment but a welcome adjustment to have our babies home with us. This weekend we'll have the dogs come home from my parents house and then our family will be complete again. The babies are still immature and are still kind of tricky feeders but having Matt and I here to feed them consistently is very helpful to Oliver and Vivian. Matt has been off work since Wednesday and won't be going back until Monday after our pediatrician appointment. When we left Wednesday Oliver weighed 7 pounds even and Vivian weighed 4 pounds 12 ounces. Here are a few pictures.....
