One Month

The babies are one month old today!!! I can't believe it's been a month already.

Ethan is now just over seven and a half pounds already. He is doing well. They have been working with him to get him off the respirator. His lungs are doing better but he is still lazy and forgets to breathe while he is sleeping (apnea). So he just needs a bit more time to fight off the RSV and he should be off the respirator soon.

Leah is getting close to seven and a half pounds and is doing great!!! She came off the respirator around noon today and around five I got to hold her and give her a bottle. It was so nice getting to hold her and hear her cry a bit. She is a bit horse from having the tubes down her throat so at first when she'd cry she sounded like a frog.

Logan is around six and a half pounds. He's lungs are still a bit on the sick side. The doctors are working hard to take good care of him and to help his little lungs heal and to help him get better.

35 Weeks

Image
A couple weeks ago while in the hospital I was just hoping to make it to 34 weeks, and here we are at 35 weeks...only 8 more days to go. I had a doctor appointment on Friday and the babies still looked great, so it's up to me to take it easy for one more week and drink a whole bunch of water to keep the contractions away. My belly is really starting to feel heavy when I stand up and while sitting, as it rests on my legs. In all I'm still not all too uncomfortable. Yesterday was my 29th birthday. I was thinking about how people always want to reflect back and say they are still 29...I'm sure my hugeness isn't what they are imagining. I've been upstairs for the most part lately, avoiding the steps. So instead of taking my pictures in my usual spot I had to find someplace upstairs. I'm in front of the babies room door. For fun I took pictures from every angle. Hopefully I'll get one more set of pictures next week.

Yarrrr

It was a nice day and we couldn't help but take our little buccaneers to the park and of course by the water. Yes, today was talk like a pirate day...yarrr. We've been working on getting them to hold our hand while walking in public. If they don't hold our hand they get carried. Their response was if, if you are going to hold my hand I'm going to sit. Two of them sat half way across the bridge so we had the third sit and hoped to get a picture of all three. The following pictures are what we ended up with.

The Floor

For some reason it is just so much fun to throw food on the floor... The babies have gotten really bad over the last few days about throwing food on the floor. They will scoop up huge hand fulls of food and just chuck it. The other day I came up with a solution that seemed to work, I gave them spoons. I helped them put food on the spoon and get it into their mouths. Ethan was even picking up food and placing it on his spoon and tried to get it into his mouth. I just hope the novelty of the spoon doesn't wear off too soon, Missy (our dog) is getting a little chunky. Ethan Logan Leah
