Happy Father's Day Daddy! We Love You!



We're Back!

Needless to say, things have been a little busy lately, leaving me little time to blog. So, I thought I would just focus on posting recent pictures of our three men and little lady:) On a quick note though, the boys are all doing extremely well. They are getting so big! I can't believe they are eight months old, and our little girl is two and a half!  We are enjoying everyday of this crazy, blessed adventure:)

2 Month Check Up

Today we took the boys to the doctor for their 2 month check up.  I am happy to report that they all are doing extremely well!  The doctor said that their weight gain was "incredible" for preemie babies.

Here's their stats....

Hayden: 10 lbs, 1 oz
               22 inches

Parker:  9 lbs
              20 inches

Wyatt:  7 lbs, 15 oz
             19 inches

Here's a picture of the boys having "tummy time " tonight.  Parker has already figured out how to roll over! I said he must have inherited his mommy's athletic ability... yeah right! :)

 Parker came home on November 19th, weighing 7 lbs, 3 oz.

Together again.....

We are so thankful to have everyone home, and healthy. Emersyn is enjoying getting to know her three little brothers! They are all still  Po Po (Parker), to her. Needless to say, we are very busy, but are enjoying every minute.

I hope to be posting again soon!

Love,

5 Weeks

The boys are still hanging out in the hospital. Unfortunately, the boys caught a cold about a week back, and this has slowed their progress.  Hayden and Parker seemed to have gotten the worst of it. Hayden has a nasal cannula, again, to break up the congestion in his chest.  It has been hard for all of them to drink out of bottles....but they are still eating.  The doctor told us over the weekend that Hayden has tracheomalacia.  Basically, it means that an area of his throat isn't as strong as it needs to be and it collapses (for lack of a better term - not as drastic as it sounds) on occasion.  He has some difficulty breathing, but at this point doesn't need to go back on any type of ventilation.  He is recovering well on his own.  His doctor assured us that this is something that he will grow out of....as many pre-mature babies have the same issue.  All things told, if this is the worst of the issues, we are in good shape :) 

Overall, the boys continue to do well.  They are each getting bigger, everyday.  We are looking forward to having them home soon.  Parker will most likely be the first to come home.


Love to all!

3 Weeks Old..... Yesterday!

The boys are doing amazing, and getting so big! They are all nursing and bottle feeding well.  The doctors haven't given us a specific date of when they will be coming home, but we're hoping within the next week or two:) Here are their current weights and a few pictures I took today.

Hayden Peter:  5 lbs, 11 oz

Parker Joe:  5 lbs 3oz

Wyatt Andrew:  4 lbs, 1oz

Multiple Blessings!

The boys are 9 days old today! They are all doing extremely well. As of today, Wyatt is breathing room air. No more tubes! They are hoping to have all three of the boys in the same room by this weekend.  I sure hope so, I know Wyatt misses being with his brothers:)  Their current weights are:  Haden, 4 lbs, 2oz,  Parker, 3 lbs 13oz, and Wyatt, 3 lbs, 3oz. The nurse said this is good, as it usually takes preemies a couple of weeks to get back to their birth weights. Here are a few pictures from today's visit. I think the twins, Parker and Wyatt, resemble Emersyn as a newborn. Hayden has a little bit different look than his brothers.
