Since the girls arrived early (at 35 weeks), the missionaries here in El Salvador didn´t have a chance to throw a shower for them until after they were already here. I thought it turned out better this way though...everyone got to welcome them into the world! Our missionary friend from Canada, Melissa, planned and hosted the shower at her house. Thanks Melissa!!!
Beautiful roses that Melissa used to decorate for the shower
Cakes that Melissa made for Katelyn & Alyssa

Opening gifts at the shower - These dresses were handmade for the girls by Karen (missionary from Montana) who is a fraternal twin herself! I thought that was really special.

Here I am 35 weeks pregnant with Alyssa & Katelyn! This was actually taken on the same day that my water broke and I went in to have them. Little did I know!
Here I am about a week after having Alyssa & Katelyn:

My mother (Granny Brooks) got to hold both babies today! (Alyssa on left, Katelyn on right)
Granny Brooks holding Katelyn and me holding Alyssa:
The girls with their pediatrician/neonatalogist, Dr. Salguero. He is our hero! He worked with Alyssa for 3 long minutes until she started breathing and he has given excellent care to both of our girls!
Our family!
Everything is going great with the girls and the pediatrician still thinks that they will both be able to come home either Monday or Tuesday of next week. Praise the Lord!

They are going to take Alyssa off the light treatment for jaundice today! The doctor is going to let them gain a little more weight and then hopes to be able to release them BOTH to go home on Monday or Tuesday of next week! We can´t wait!!! It is so hard to go to the hospital every day to see them and then have to leave them.

It was wonderful to be able to hold both girls again! The pediatrician is going to take Alyssa out of her incubator today, but she will still be receiving light treatment for her jaundice for a little while longer. He hopes to be able to release Katelyn to come home next Monday or Tuesday! Keep up the prayers!
Katelyn & Alyssa look so peaceful snuggling with one another.
Mommy with her girls!
Daddy with his girls!
