First. let me say that I am sorry the pictures are out of order. I don't really have time to fix it, so it will have to stay this way.
It was great for Jack and Molly to have some normalcy that was unassociated with Caroline and Abbey. For Halloween, Molly dressed as a snow princess. Jack was going to be a Power Ranger, but we couldn't find his pants. So, he just wore the shirt. Costuming just didn't take as high of a priority this year. Ed dressed up and took them down the street.
Thursday night, the night Caroline came home, we were able to carve our Jack-o-Lanterns. The best thing about it was that Jack stuck his hands in the pumpkin and helped clean out the goo. That is amazing progress for our sensory sensitive boy!
Mom had to go back home on Tuesday afternoon. This picture is her last visit with Abbey. Abbey is still in the NICU working on consistently taking a whole bottle. She has done it some, but it is far from consistent.
Caroline came home on last Thursday. You can see that the kids were very interested in checking her out. They have done well welcoming her into our family. Molly is especially interested in helping with all aspects. Unfortunately, we have all passed around a cold. Hence the face masks.
This is the before photo from the day I delivered, or maybe the night before. Keep in mind this was only 34 weeks. I can not imagine going all the way. I am healing well and am sooo glad the girls are outside my body now.
This is right when Caroline came home. Remember that Jack and Molly had not seen her at all until the day before, when they just got a glance through the NICU window. Jack thinks she is so cute and tiny.
Please keep up your encouragement and prayers. We are hanging in there, but I am certainly getting weary. I am trying to enjoy these precious days to the max.

Wow, Marcie! That's quite a week. And you looked great, but you are right - those last 6 weeks would have been a doozy! :)
Love seeing the pics! Glad you are doing well.
