We took Allie and Harper home at noon today.
On Day Two, they've started to express themselves a little more than during their first 24 hours. They both can cry, and a sure way to hear some baby screams is to unwrap one from her warm swaddling. They don't like to be exposed.
Harper grabbed her pacifier the first time she was offered it, and now she's rarely without it. When she sleeps she spits it out about every 15 minutes, then gives a little yell. If you put it back in her mouth, she dozes off again.
Allie sucked on hers for a while, but she likes to put her tongue on the roof of her mouth, which pushes the pacifier out of her mouth. She doesn't seem to need it to keep quiet and peaceful though, like Harper does, and overall she's the less fitful sleeper. They already have their own personalities, which eerily resemble what we expected from how they acted in the womb.
Our families left this afternoon except for Kakhi's mom, who is staying for a few nights. Then my mom will come help us. Doing this with just the two of us would be difficult.
They're almost two days old!
Here are pictures. Babies getting ready to leave hospital:
