They moved the boys into an isolette (incubator) together today! Yay. Yesterday they were able to put a picc line in for Everest, which they couldn't do before and already did on Calder. Also (warning:TMI alert), my milk came in finally today after 5 days so I was able to pump for them. They still can't breastfeed yet, but they can drink from bottles in controlled feedings. I don't know...whatever. Anyway, this morning I went to the hospital at 8am and changed their diapers and bottle fed them, and then I got to do Kangaroo Care which is really cool but the name is lame and kind of embarrassing to say outloud :) I got to lay in a recliner with both of them skin to skin for over 2 hours and sleep, until a social worker interrupted us and woke us up. You'd think she'd have something important to say but instead she said "Are you related to Dr. McKee?" and then told me about what a huge crush she has on him for about 30 minutes (she's 60 something). I should have said "Please leave, I only get to see my babies a few hours a day, and also I am half naked and you're making me uncomfortable". But I didn't. No news yet on when they get to come home, but they're doing well. We love them! LOTS of pictures ahead...

| Everest-He has a nasal cannula in every picture, that should help you distinguish who is who. Calder doesn't have one, just an orange feeding tube. |

| Calder was sucking on Everest's hand when we came in. I got a video but not a picture. I'll try to post that too. |

I love the pictures of them snuggling! And how in the world did you fit BOTH of them in your belly???
you look beautiful whit, and those boys are amazing. i'm so glad they get to be together finally. That video is so cute!! And that social worker is lame, next time i definitely think you should say something. who cares if you offend, you have precious time with your babies.
What sweet little boys. I'm glad that they were moved into the same incubator. That's exciting. I hope that you're doing well.
Oh Whit, they are just perfect! I love their names and I am so excited to see more pics and get more updates! You look way too skinny to have just had twins! Amazing!
I am crying I am so in love with your twins! They are so beautiful! When I see them together in the same "bed" I have to admit I am very envious. I am so glad that you get these wonderful gifts! I know that it isn't going to be easy but just look at them sleeping together and it is all worth it! I love you Whitney! Great job!!
