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.

Update

The girls are doing really well. Kelby had her first bottle on Thursday. She did really good, she took almost all of it. She has had one a day since then and has been doing great. Mallory is now getting three bottles a day. Not much else to report - Mallory is now 5 lb 6 oz and Kelby is 4 lb 6 oz.

AHH TOO stinkin' cute! LOVE them :) So if Michael gets into the military soon, I will have 4 weeks without him while he is in training so I am thinking of heading that direction for a "vacation!" Hopefully it will be by this summer!

OMG. The babies are precious. And growing like weeds. So now I get to say stupid things to you like "You got your hands full!" You will hear that comment ALLLLL the time. People hold doors for you and all that stuff. It's quite grand.
