On Tuesday morning in the hospital at my 5:30 am feeding with Zora, I asked the nurse how long she had gone without the feeding tube.  (Our benchmark was 24 hours.)  The nurse looked on her electronic chart and told me it had been almost 36 hours.   I asked if we could go.  She said she'd check with the pediatrician.  When Katy, Noemi, and I came back for Zora's 8:30 am feeding, they had already begun putting Zora through the first discharge tests.  By 11:30 am, we were walking out to the car with the nurse who was making sure we had car seats and knew that we shouldn't put them in them upside down.

We spent the first afternoon and evening getting back in the swing of things, putting away piles of clothes that had gotten tossed about in the frenzy of the morning we had gone to the hospital.  The cats were slightly interested in the girls but made sure to keep their distance a bit and definitely didn't want to sleep on our bed - as they usually did - with the girls sleeping right next to it.

Yesterday (Wednesday), we all went to the pediatrician for the first time and had a few good photo ops with the marine life on the walls.  They both checked out well.   And then today, we just hung around the house.  Mowgli came back after his two week vacation with Ryan and Jamie.   He likes kids but doesn't quite know what to do with the girls at this stage.
