Crying: Now in Stereo!

Just a quick post this evening... well, this morning actually. We arrived home from the hospital with Evie last Monday night around 8:30PM, and had a pretty good night (sleeping through most of it). I stayed home on Tuesday to be home for the twins first full day together and it went great, except that sometimes the twins cry in stereo now. Evie has spit up a few times resulting in full outfit changes twice, but has been eating well. We were able to give her a bath (which she hated) and file her nails (which she liked).

Tonight (Tuesday night) has been a real trial with Evie. My parents came over for dinner and she slept, well, like a baby. No sooner had they left around 9:00PM and she started fussing. It's 1:30AM right now and she's still crying. It gets us worried because the more she gets upset, the faster her heart rate gets, which could lead to danger. Her color has stayed good so far, but we've tried everything in the book to get her to calm down. She'll fall asleep, we'll put her down for 10 minutes and she'll start crying again. Oh well, at least Gavin is still asleep. Sharon's got her right now so I can get this post up. Here's just a few pictures from the last two days. I'll get the other ones up when Evie goes to sleep (if ever).

Evie's arrival on Monday night with Uncle/Godfather David and Grandfather Cordes:


Tuesday, Gavin wakes up and is surprised to see that Evie's still here (they're sharing the same crib for now, too).




A bath to wash off all that left over medical tape. The incision on her leg from her angiogram seems to have healed very well.



Sharon's spa and nails salon:




Evie: pretty in pink and ready for her close up.




Tuesday afternoon snooze.




Remember sleep Mom and Dad? Suckers!



I hope everyone has a Happy Halloween!

WOW! We are so glad to see everyone back home and playing nicely! :) What an incredible blessing - two beautiful and fun babies! We continue to pray for good health for everyone, especially Evie. Welcome home Cermak Family!

Hey - I've got an easy Halloween costume for them - switch their outfits and they can go as their twin sibling! :)

God Bless,
Beth & Jimmy

We love Evie and Gavin and hope they can come visit us and play with us someday!!! We can play hide and seek, chase the milk ring, or just drive your Uncles David and Brad crazy!! Hopefully they are not allergic to us like their Daddy and Auntie Di. LOVE, Phantom and Phoebe Jean, your cat cousins.

I LOVE that picture with the "remember sleep?" comment! Priceless!
Also, that commercial-intro for the shaver (baby vs Daddy) thing was hilarious, I laughed so hard I worried I might wake up my boys!
