The girls were born on November 16th, 2007, 16 weeks early. Mallory Kate – 1 lb 8 oz, Evan Reese – 1 lb 1 oz, and Kelby Grace – 1 lb 5 oz. Upon their delivery, Mallory and Kelby were transferred to St. David’s South and were doing fairly well considering the circumstances. Our little Evan Reese was a fighter, but she had a lot of problems and she was with us for about 5 hours. We love you Evan and we miss you everyday, but we know we’ll see you again one day. Mallory and Kelby both went through a lot in their 105 day stay in the hospital, from heart surgeries, to brain bleeds, to infections. Many prayers were answered and we thank God everyday for everything He has done for them. Today they are perfectly healthy and growing bigger and stronger everyday. We started this blog to keep everybody updated on their progress. You can scroll down to the bottom of the page for a slideshow from the NICU days.

Another update

Both of our girls are doing really well this week. They have both come down on their oxygen requirements. They are both eating well and gaining weight. Kelby hasn't been gaining quite as much as they'd like, but they seem to be happy with her progress. Mallory is now 3 lb 8 oz and Kelby is 2 lb 12 oz. They are starting to increase Kelby's calorie intake to get her caught up with her sister. They are both wearing clothes now and looking bigger every day. We got a new camera (Thanks Todd and Stacey!) so we will be posting more pics soon. We got to help with both girls' baths yesterday, and we got some good pictures of both of them. We'll post those as soon as we can and we'll update again soon.

Again, awesome news! I can't wait to meet them someday. Pretty soon you'll be, as they say "Outta there!" Their 2 month birthday is right around the corner.
