The trip to Milwaukee was a success. Logan did great in the car, he slept pretty much all the way there and back, which is great! It was really nice to see Jake, April and Layla again and be able to catch up and hang out for a while. Saturday we went to the Milwaukee County Zoo. I haven't been to the zoo in about 15 years so it was fun to see all the animals, but also sad. I didn't realize how inactive most of the animals are, just sitting there doing nothing. But I guess if you're in a cage all day what else do you have to do? Then Sunday we just hung out at home and grilled out. Thanks again Jake and April for the hospitality! We'll have to get together again soon.
Then Monday on our way home we stopped in and saw Jovie and Jaylee. They're beautiful! I was shocked to see just how small they are. But they both have a full head of hair. They're so cute and tiny. Jovie is doing great and Jaylee is getting stronger every day. We keep praying they'll grow strong fast so that they can go home, but the nurse there said it would be about 8-10 weeks before they would be strong enough to go home. Won't that be a special day when they can come home!
Today and tomorrow is my last days at home before I go back to work. I have mixed feelings about going back to work. One thing for sure it will be different. Last night Brian went on Logan duty for the night. Logan got up about 1:15 and Brian said it took about 45 mins to eat 4 oz. Then when Brian tried to get him back to sleep, Logan would be sleeping in his arms and the second he would put him down in the bassinet he would wake up again and start grunting around. Welcome to the middle of the night game Logan likes to play dad! Hopefully he'll out grow it soon!

feeding tip for shrek to make it go faster: those new bottles aren't awesome as far as ventilation goes... pull the nip out of his mouth here and there to be sure he hasn't sucked all the air out making it impossible to get any milk. annoying, but at least you can be comforted by the fact that he now has bpa free bottles (i say that sarcastically as i know bmeyer and jake think it's fine to continue using poisonous plastic as they think it'll make the babies "tough"). ;)
Come all the way to Milwaukee and not even stop and say hi.
Hope everything is going well.
