Charlie also began taking the Enfamil AR today – not because he necessarily needs it but because we want to try to keep the babies on the same formula if at all possible. The Chunks didn’t seem to mind the switch – as long as he has a full bottle and a good cuddle afterwards, Charlie is happy. This evening his nurse, Debbie, gave him a nice tub bath. Charlie is so funny during bath time – he cries like crazy when he first gets in the tub, then after a minute it’s like a switch is turned and he realizes, “Hey – I like this!” He is so, so cute!
At home we’ve been working on getting everything prepped for the babies’ hopefully fast approaching homecoming. Bottles have been sterilized, clothes have been washed, bassinets have been assembled, diapers have been stacked. Our house looks like a Babies R Us exploded, but that just makes us happy. All we need are two babies in it and our home will officially be complete.

I love Charlie's pudgy belly and chubby cheeks... they are both getting sooo big!! Lily is already quite the food snob... she had to find the perfect formula for her taste. You guys are in trouble with that little girl :) She'll be ruling the house in no time!
I'm so glad that the babies should be home where they belong soon!!
The babies look great!!!
I am so happy to hear everything is going so well :-)
I haven't stopped praying since I stumbled upon you and your story.
Love,
from GA
Your photos make me actually miss the NICU and tiny little babies. They are so cute!
They've gotten so big, and they look great! I will cry my eyes out with happiness the day I read your soon to come "going home" post.
Prayers and love coming to you from New Jersey - not too far from you guys!
Charlie looks so cute (Lily does to of course)! Is it just me or has he gotten to big for his tub?
Boy, that really is a tub FULL of Charlie. Hard to believe he's about to outgrow the tub! They both are gorgeous. So happy all is going well with both and you are counting down to "go home" day!
Those cheeks! Ack! Too much cuteness! And go Lil with passing the carseat test.
Keep up the good work Charlie and Lilly, won't be long now. Those pictures are absolutely adorable.. (Travis's mom)
C'mon Lil you can do it...
OMG - these pictures are absolutely adorable... I love them... Chubby chubby babies...
God bless you my sweet angels...
All My Love, Auntie :) xoxoxo
Awesome pics, beautiful baby faces!! We do "snug as a bug in a rug", every night!! I am completely thrilled for you guys! I can't wait for you guys to have your big homecoming. Lots of the love!
Look at Charlie's cheeks!!! Absolutely love them!! So glad Lily Bug passes her car seat test and that her other test didn't reveal anything worrisome!!! Come on babies!!! Mom and Dad are all ready for you!!!
I love seeing their adorable faces without any tubes or wires. And look at Charlie's pudge! He's certainly the Chunk. :) Love it!
Love Lily's shirt and that picture of Charlie content in the tub is hilarious!
Enfamil AR ended up being our formula due to reflux. It really did make a world of difference for our babies. Love seeing new pictures of them.
Fabulous update!
Love Charlie's chubby cheeks and belly and Miss Lily's attire!
They are getting so big! They are absolutely adorable as always.
OMG that first pic of Lily is absolutely adorable! But you knew that.
Love Charlie's tummy!!! Lily's just tooooo much. You are blessed!
I can't stop staring at the sleepy picture of Lily and at Charlie's cheeks. I just want to bite them. :) I love your babies!!
I am so happy for you! I cant believe how big they are getting. Charlie barely fits in the basin. And to think they barely weighed a pound 3 months ago. Keep up the wonderful work, D's.
OMG I am DYING of cuteness. What great pictures!!! Grow, babies, grow! :)
Hi Joe and Brooke,
I just drove across country with my boyfriend and couldnt wait to get to his mothers house in Maine so I could see how the babies are! Glad to hear things are going well, and don't worry about the monitors, you get used to them (I was a nanny for twins born at 27 weeks, I witnessed a lot of the battles you have gone through first hand).
Enjoy your last nights or restful sleep before the babes come home!
~Missy
I cannot wait for your little joys to come home! I anxiously await that post! I cannot believe how far they have come. I still cry everytime I read your blog--tears of joy now!
I can't believe how chubby Charlie is--did you ever think you'd see the day when your teeny babies would be described as chubby? He is so beautiful and looks so happy in that picture!
LOOK AT THAT BELLY! =)

I just had to come and do another picture check before bedtime. Angels you have been giving me chuckles all day long with these pictures. I send your updated pictures to work every day... Auntie has fun...
Night Night...
All My Love, Auntie :) xoxoox
I love Charlie's "pinchable cheeks!" So cute. They're getting so close! Yay!!!
You know it is time to go home when you outgrow the hospital tubby! YAY!!!!!! Great stuff and I am so happy for you.
Dear Brooke and Joey,
I think Charlie is a Contento, and I think he looks like me when I was a baby! They are so beautiful! God Bless Them!
