We were in the hospital for what seemed like forever. Lots of people came out to visit us and the twins. Thanks to all of you how came to see us. The babies were doing great. They just kept having to be poked to get their jaundice levels checked. I was so glad I had two healthy babies that could stay with me in my room and come home with me. I was also recovering from the c-section. It was a lot harder than I thought it would be. The hardest thing was to get up out of bed. The nurses wanted me to walk around, I didn't want to, but I started to feel better once I took their advice and took little walks down the hall. The babies finally got their names after a couple of days. We named our son Felix Manuel after our Dads, and our daughter Liliana Raquel. Raquel is Luis' Mom's name, my Grandma's name, and my sister's middle name. Liliana we just liked. It was so hard to name them. I was glad when they finally had names. Felix got a nickname before we even left the hospital. Luis combed his hair like Alphalfa from the Little Rascals. We had recently watched the movie, and Chone would always say Alphalfin, instead of Alphalfa when she would talk about it. So I started to call him Alphalfin, and it stuck.
They were born on a Tuesday, and we got to go home on Friday. It was so different from when Chone was born. I remember being so nervous to take her home. What if she cried!! But even though there was two of them, I wanted to have my babies home. While Luis took everything to the car, I got the babies ready in their pink and blue outfits from Tia Elaine. They looked so cute.
So we went home to meet up with Chone. My AWESOME sister Lisa watched her the whole time we were in the hospital and brought her to visit us every day. Thanks again! We got some cupcakes and sang Happy Birthday to a new 7 year old.
