Day Deux in the Life of NL

Since the last post:

We've been in our post-delivery room since 9PM last night. Lucas and Noelle had been sent directly from the operating room to the transitional nursery, and then around 8:30PM to the nursery on our post-delivery floor. {My fourth interruption in the midst of this paragraph} Just before 9PM Jeff and Liz stopped by to awe the Wonders. Soon after, NL departed back to the nursery for the evening. This option affords parents some relaxation time, though does take away some opportunities for breastfeeding. At any rate, Kel was too exhausted to accomplish much in that respect anyway, and sleep seemed like more the pressing matter. 

When NL left for the nursery, we were able to doze intermittently until 7AM (the nurse stopped by every two hours throughout the night to monitor Kelly). Then the fun began. We took over the duties only a mother could love. Later, our new pediatrician stopped by for a chat, and so did Dr C., to remove Kel's stomach staples. And that's been our day since. 

Kel is recovering, though slowly. She had a rough spell of powerful pain this morning and has been under the influence of several drugs that only tempered the discomfort at best. The twins are marvelous. Noelle has a propensity for hiccups (takes after me) while Lucas is a sneezer. In conclusion, it turns out that changing diapers, swaddling, and raising children is a piece of cake. At least the last 27 hours indicate so. Surely the next 27 years will be no different.
