Well, yesterday was an exciting day! We finally got to bring Kayla home from the hospital!! It's been a whirlwind ever since! We ended up needing to hire a night time nanny in addition to the daytime nanny to help us out and keep me sane for the next month or so while we all get adjusted. They did pretty well last night, Kayla was actually much mellower than Kamryn. Kamryn has been very fussy late at night and early morning. It takes a lot to get her calmed down...I think it's colic now at this point (and still some digestive problems).
Kayla hasn't been eating very well since we got her home. She's supposed to be taking at least 55 ml every feeding, but she has only been taking about 20-25 ml and then screams and fights the other half. We took her to her first pediatrician this morning and she said to give it another day but if she doesn't start eating, they will have to put her back in the hospital again to see what is going on. The doctor's ran every test known before and couldn't find anything physically wrong with her...so they are kind of scratching their heads right now. They said she is just a very fussy, irritable baby and just might not be ready to come home yet. They said some babies can spend months in the NICU if needed, let's hope this isn't the case with Kayla. But I'm also ok if she is better off in the hospital for her health. So we'll see how the rest of the day and tonight goes.
I haven't been able to get any pictures of the girls together yet because there hasn't been a time when both aren't screaming yet :(.
