Then this grandma came:
And we took these two to the doctor's office many many times because they are not getting fat enough (especially Amelia Jane). Thank you thank you thank you Janet . . . come back any time. Really. Like today?

And then this grandma came:
She mended Thomas' blanky for me because I famously cannot sew a stitch. And we took them to the doctor and lactation specialists lots more times . . . still not fat enough. My insurance bought me a fancy-schmancy pump and we rented a baby scale and check their weight twice a day. I think we finally are getting it figured out, but feeding these two is proving to be a LOT of work. Thank you thank you thank you mom . . . please please please don't leave me!

I still think we'll keep them, even though they still refuse to regain their birthweight after 2 1/2 weeks. Sigh.

And now Michael just left to drive her to the airport.
(Amelia left, Evelyn right)
And I am all alone. With five kids . . . two of whom are babies that aren't fat enough.
Panic.
