On our own

Today has been a day of our own. It is the first time the newly-expanded Cearley family has been in our house by ourselves since January 25. We no longer have 1 of the moms with us. Teddy left this morning. What a blessing she has been. I feel like she really held our home together over the last couple of months. And the sacrifice both she and my mom have made (everyone for that matter) - well, we can't say Thank You enough.

We have been chillin all day long. I was in my pajamas until 20 minutes ago. Had to put my contacts in too. Now, I feel like I am operating in this day.

The boys are sleeping. They're doing well. Except for this 1 thing - we got a call from the pediatrician's office yesterday afternoon saying they just received a questionable screener back on Max. Apparently, he is 'borderline' in his results for these metabolic disorders. Can't really tell you what all 'metabolic disorders' includes, but I can say that not all are treatable. This made me feel a bit uneasy. The doctor said that typically 'borderline' means 'test them again and you'll see the first one was a false positive'. My doctor said 'false negative' yesterday and didn't correct himself. That made me uneasy too. Laugh all you want, but if you're telling me that a test, albeit very unspecific, is coming back positive for my son, I don't want to hear you talk like you don't know what you're talking about. We get the results in a week. He's assured us that we really shouldn't have anything to worry about. We're trying to treat it as such here. On a positive note though - we weighed both of them and they are either at (Nick) or have exceeded their birth weight (Max). They're just chugging along and growing. That is very good. The boys are no longer sleeping and need my attention.

Sleep is valuable. But we couldn't do it this afternoon. So, we watched Dan in Real Life. It is such a sweet and unassuming movie. We both really enjoyed it. Hopefully, next sleep cycle we will be able to sleep. If not, we've got I am Legend.
