Friday:

Dr. Benson came early for rounds before 7:00am to meet Molly and William. He gushed over how cute there are and was impressed with the delivery story and how things were going. He made it clear he would be stopping in daily because they are premie and we'll keep a close eye on them. 

After he left my friend, Erin Eccles, came to visit since she is a nurse at the hospital as well. She got to hold babies briefly before needing to get back to work. It was sweet of her to take a break with us.

Dr Taylor stopped by too. He brought a knit blue hat and a knit pink hat made by his wife. So sweet. I also pointed out William's middle name to him. Dr Taylor's first name is Mark. 

Josh went home to get a few things, shower, and take a breather. While he was gone I took a shower as well. I felt like a new person. Then Josh's friend's parents, Rick and Penny Johnson, came to visit. They brought diapers, wipes, cute outfits, and a big brother present for Caleb. It was so generous and thoughtful. Penny loved holding Mollie. She has only grandsons, so this was a treat for her. She made it clear I was to call her if I needed any help. Josh made it back in time to see them before they had to head out. 

After lunch I took a short rest and then my friend, Heather Olson, came to visit. She enjoyed holding the twins and also came bearing gifts. She had several outfits for both Mollie and William. I can't wait to get them into all these cute clothes!

On her way home from work, Jessica Rhodes (Aunt Boogie) came with cute hats for the babies. I love little knit hats! She could calmly hold her niece and nephew since her own son and Caleb weren't with her this time. 

Supper break and then more visitors. Josh left to sleep at home and work on the upstairs remodel. 

Aunt Lauren Alms brought flowers and a Mommy care package with delicious treats. So very sweet. She claims that babies don't like her, but Mollie took to her. She said it was a diva to diva bond. :)

Then Amy, our daycare provider, friend Angela Bruns and her daughter, Annika stopped in. It was the first time I didn't have enough babies to go around:-) William needed a diaper change at one point and Amy jumped right in. 

We also had Nana come so that she could have a calm visit without the toddlers. 

As Nana left, in came Gene & Denise (Grandpa & Oma). This was Grandpa's first visit, since he had been in Walnut Grove at the church he is serving earlier in the week. He lit up having these little ones in his arms. 

We did a feeding at about 9:30, and then all visitors were gone. During the middle of the night they weigh babies. Mollie and William have started to lose weight. Not in a danger zone yet, but we are best to nurse them well, and get my milk in.
