Learning the ropes

Charlie and I are learning just how much the nurses did for us in the NICU. It is a lot of work and a whole lot of fun having the babies home. We're sleeping in shifts and that seems to work well. The babies are doing great - Paul weighs 6 lbs 4 oz and Lizzie weighs 6 lbs 3 oz. They're growing out of the preemie clothes and fitting into the newborn clothes. It's amazing how much they've changed in just five short weeks. They had their first visit to the pediatrician yesterday and everything looks great. I'm holding Small Paul - as he will be known to the Allgeier family due to the other Pauls known as Big Paul (my Dad) and Little Paul (my brother) - right now as he is a little fussy and a lot spoiled!
