Hi Everyone, we finally had a chance to take some pictures with the little ones without their prongs. We went to the Respiratory Clinic on Tuesday to determine whether they still need oxygen assistance. It turns out that their lungs aren't strong enough yet, and they still need the extra boost of O2.

They also had their hearing test done, and they both passed it. Eye test went well too.

We took the opportunity to take some quick shots when we changed (every week or so) their nasal prongs the other night. It was quite difficult to get them to look at the same time, but we tried our best.

Super MOM!!.. Even just under 7lbs each, Cey is having difficulty trying to corral the gremlins. But she'll have to get used to it as Daddy needs to go back to work to pay the bills.

The challenge was to get both of them to look at the camera without crying or making a silly face... That proved to be more difficult than what I expected.

Here's Mommy trying to get a smile...

Then they just got bored...

Here's the best shot we got...

Joshua exploring, and trying to crawl... what a trooper!

Even with just a few hours of interrupted sleep, we love to just watch (and kiss) them as they sleep.

A visit from Auntie Ashley

Ashley, one of their primary nurses stopped by yesterday to take their footprints to print on her shirt for the Mother's Day Walk on Sunday.

Even though they're not at the hospital anymore, it's still heartwarming to know that they still spoil and care for our twins.

Bonding Moments..

Things are getting better now (in terms of sleeping time!). From getting only an hour of sleep a day, it has now improved to 3 hours. Hooray!

Here's me and our twins having some bonding time.

I'm trying to get used to taking care of them alone as Jo is going back to work in a week. It is sometimes frustrating, specially when they both cry at the same time... and how I wish I could clone myself.

Here's a sample video of them crying at the same time...

Our kids have 2 very different personalities now. Joshua used to be just laid back, but now he's the one cranky. He'll let you know when he's hungry and when he wants his bum changed. And after eating, he can't settle himself unless you cuddle him 'til he sleeps. But sometimes, even when you think he's sleeping, as soon as you put him down on his crib, he'll cry and wake up with his eyes wide open. I'm still trying to figure out how to teach him to sleep without being cuddled all the time since I still have to feed and put Joscel to sleep.

Joscel on the other hand knows how to behave. She's so behave that she would just stare at Joshua and smiles specially when he freaks out.
