Also here's a quick update on their statuses:
Scarlett- She's 3lbs 7 oz now! After being born at only 3lbs 1oz, naturally as most babies do, she lost some weight. Since about 2 weeks ago she's been on a steady climb up to where she is now. We're so proud. She is breathing room air great- no tubes or respirators or anything. She is feeding through a feeding tube still, but only because of her size. The doctors say that by next week sometime she should be big enough for us to start trying bottle feedings with her! We're super excited. So far the only major characteristic that we are able to tell as a difference between the two girls is Scarlett's cowlick right in the front! It's adorable and helps mommy and daddy tell her sweet face apart from her sister's.
Savannah- She's 3lbs 2oz now! Again, just like her sister- she lost weight soon after being born like most babies do. She was 2lbs 12oz at birth. But since then she's been on her own steady climb up to where she is now! Just like her sister- she's breathing room air great- with no tubes or respirators. She also has a feeding tube because of her size, but the doctors are going to wait a little longer with her before they try to bottle feed her. She needs a little more time to grow. All the nurses these girls have had have said that our Savannah is slightly more "feisty" than Scarlett. They say she has a little more of a strong attitude....hmmmm wonder where she got that from?
Ok--- here's some pictures! Enjoy!

I cannot WAIT for you to bring these babies home!!! This Grandma is ready to play "girlie" games! Sweet pictures, sweet sisters.
Hooray! Pictures! I've been a raving lunatic toward your brother... I ask him every day. Did you talk to your mom or sister? What do you know about the girls. Then he says, "They're fine." And I say, "HELLOOO I need details!" How big are they? Are they eating ok? What are their personalities like? Can Katie dress them in cute stuff yet? What color bows are in their hair? How can she tell them apart? What do they have to do to come home? etc. etc.etc. A couple days ago I threatened him and said the next time he talked to mom he needed to find out more... or else. And so he gave me a few details. But this is even better! Pictures! YEAAAA! Oh they are so so cute. Sooooo so cute. :) I believe the nurses about Savannah and love the little baby "raise'n the roof" pose. She certainly is. hehehe
awww look at your sweet girls! :)
