Thank You!

Thank you to everyone who leaves comments on the blog for us to read. We look forward to reading each one - it helps us stay positive and feel more like we're part of the world a little bit since we haven't seen or talked to many people since the girls arrived.

Abigail, Evelyn said Hi back at ya, and she hopes to have a play date with you soon.

Shawn, keep the comments coming - I can't wait to see all of our (6) girls playing together! Poor David and Tom, they need boys.

Aunt Lolee, Pup and Grandma Short - the girls aren't learning any of your names yet cause I am teaching them math and science and Tom is working on thier golf grip (they have the hands for it!). I think they both want to be NICU nurses. They know all about monitors, vitals, and patient care already!

As of yesterday, both girls are out of isolation; which means that we don't have to worry about wearing gowns and gloves when we handle them. That's actually a huge relief for us because worrying about spreading germs back and forth was stressful. They both weigh 2 lbs. 14 ozs. Although they aren't identical, they like to stay equal in their progress. They are so considerate of each other. We dress them in little preemie outfits now, which are adorable but huge on them. Other than that things are pretty much the same. I get little ideas of how their personalities are going to be now and then. Sophia looks so much like Evelyn did when she was born, but her temperment is calm and easy going (opposite of Evelyn as an infant). I'm not sure yet who Kathryn is going to look like. I think that maybe some of the Carrabino genes got into her cause her hair and skin is darker (so far). She has a much more fiesty personality (just like Evelyn). She squeals and lets you know when she doesn't like you handling her. There are some similarities between them, but mostly they are each completely their own person. It's going to see so fun to see how each develops and changes over time.

Thank you everyone, and even though we don't reply to all of them, please continue to post your thoughts, we love to read them!

God Bless!

Emily (Tom & Evelyn too)

Oh my gosh! That would be so much fun! All 6 of our little muffins playing together...sleep overs and playing dress up! I cannot wait for those days. I'll plan it in a month or two ok! LOL I love the fact that this blog was set up because it is an awesome way to keep in touch. With everyone's life so hectic (especially yours) it's nice to know that when you have 30 seconds, you can sit down and read that people are thinking about you even though they might be miles away! I figured I would get David a masuline pet rock or something and he can name it some manly name like Bartholomeus or something like that. Maybe he won't feel so overpowered! hahaha...Anyways, thank you again for sharing all of those pictures of your babies (all three of them). I look forward to all the updates and milestones that they are making! It's wonderful progress! ttyl! Luv ya!!! Shawnie :o) :o) xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo

Hi Em.
I'm glad you get a few minutes to read the blog.
Just wanted to let you know that I am going to print it for Grandma to read.
Also, I sent Tom and e-mail because I'd like to bring you some food for the week.
I just don't want to innundate you with a bunch of food if you have too much already.
Take care and enjoy you day with Evelyn today!
Love to you all, Laurie
