A little bird mentioned that some of you loyal readers have gotten nervous in the past when I have taken brief update breaks. So, here's an update.
Things are going well. We've gotten into a pretty good routine and I try to just add one new thing a day. For example, we actually went to the park on Tuesday and today all of us girls took a little trip to the Dr's. It's a pain dealing with the feeding pump but I'm figuring out little tricks to make little outings a little easier. We still don't spend as much time outside as Ella would like but she's been pretty patient with me. Olivia really seems to love being home. Other than her feeding tube and her feet turning blue when she's ticked she seems like a normal baby. She only gets up a couple times a night (if that) to eat and only eats for about 10-15 minutes before going back to sleep so I'm getting plenty of sleep. So far I have found time to shower whenever needed. Thanks to the ward I haven't had to start attempting making dinners yet but next week we should and we'll see how that goes. So, we're holding it all together. My house is cluttered, laundry's not folded, and I spend most of my time holding Olivia on the couch. I think that week of not being held took its toll on her and if she's not sound asleep she wants to snuggle. But, Ella and Olivia are clean and fed, mommy doesn't have BO, and daddy comes home to a happy family. So I'd say we're pretty successful so far.
So, for those of you who worry when I don't blog everyday, no news is good news and life is getting normal. A different kind of normal but normal just the same. And just because I think my girls are the cutest, enjoy some pictures of our "normal" life at home.

Ains has that same shirt as Ella. :) We must have similar taste.
Glad to see things are getting back to normal for you. I think anyone juggling two kids takes time to get used to cleaning house, showering, making dinner etc. So I'd say you're doing well.
So happy to hear you are getting into a nice, at home, routine! Oliva is so cute, and I can't believe how big she already looks!
Hooray! She was up eating at night?? As in oral eating? Is she not on a continuous drip feed at night in her tube? Seriously, this girl amazes me. Bringing home a heart baby is not typically a "normal" baby experience in any sense of the word! I am just so thrilled that she is doing so well and breaking all of the molds! She will be off that tube before you know it!
