I didn't get many shots of their nurses, but here's one of Jan actually playing "Go Fish" with Emma out in the hallway. I met Jan for the first time when visiting the Phelps-Kelleher girls in the NICU when Sage and Lucy were in the room our girls would soon occupy. Jan was really great! We love her.
July 8, 2009: 6 weeks old, 38 weeks corrected; Anne-Claire weighed 6# 9oz and was 19.2 inches long, and Elise weighed 5# 7oz and was 18 inches long. The day before Anne-Claire weighed the same as her cousin Jordan when he was born (6# 6oz). Jordan and his twin, Justin, were born 3 weeks early, 19 years ago!
Elise and Anne-Claire, napping in their bouncers. I should post a picture of what they look like now in the bouncers--Annie's feet hang off the bottom.

July 11, 2009: Close to going home!! Anne-Claire weighed 6# 13.4oz and Elise weighed 5# 9.6oz. Today, Elise is the same size as Justin at birth (5# 9oz).
Chris helping Becky with assessment of Elise. This is what we mostly did at the NICU--every 4 hours the babies got their diapers changed, temps taken, respirations counted, and fed.
