I've been home for a little over a week now, I think everyone knows that now as Jorja has been keeping up the blog. Thanks Jorja for doing that, my stay at the hospital was tremendously difficult and I was having a hard time finding a desire to communicate to my friends and extended family. It's a very depressing environment and getting home has made me 80% better mentally. All my back pain is pretty much gone now. My abdominal surgeon told me that I have another 6 weeks to recover. I'm house bound right now due to my heart. I have another appointment with my cardiologist in a week so please pray for a good ECG and echocardiagram. My sister has officially moved in to help me with the girls. I don't know what I would do without her. This experience has been such a nightmare, thank god I'm blessed with a loving and supportive family on both sides. I will continue meeting with my 4 different doctors until they see that I'm out of the clear. I'm just taking things very easy right now and enjoying my girls. They have both grown so much already. Isabella is starting to get a little feisty so we'll see if this is a hint of what is in the future. Cadence continues to sleep well and does not cry as often as Izzy, only when she is really hungry. Right now my sleeping schedule seems to be to stay up until 3am (the first night feeding) and then Anthony or Jenny will take the next feeding around 6am. We are very lucky that they have a good night sleep pattern. They are both the same weight now 7.12oz and 21 inches long. Here are some more recent pics around the day that I came home. Thanks for everyone keeping us in your prayers.

Shawna, you look great and the girls are beautiful! I am so glad you are finally able to be home to enjoy them.
I can't imagine how impossible the last month and change have been for you two. I'm so glad your family has been able to rise to the occasion and help out so much. In spite of it all, though, you guys managed to make some absolutely adorable babies! They also sound pretty well mannered!
I know how tough our first couple of months were with just one baby and a much healthier mom... this has to be an incredible challenge for you guys, and I'm sure it has to feel pretty bleak sometimes (if not all the time!)... I'll be praying for continued physical and emotional recovery (and rest) for all of 'da Pumas.
In the meantime, enjoy tickling those 40 little fingers and toes...
