6 Month Milestone
One Amazing God, Thousands of Prayers by Family & Friends, the wonderful NICU staff of St. David's and two loving parents.
What does all of this have in common?????
Mallory Kate 11/20/07 Four Days Old 1lb 8oz
Kelby Grace 11/20/07 Four Days Old 1lb 5oz
Mallory 5/20/08 22 inches & 9lb 8oz
Kelby 5/20/08 22inches & 9lbs 5oz
I took these pictures after their bath last night. Mallory loves bath time and Kelby is not so sure why it is important. As you can tell Kelby was not in the mood for a photo op after bath time.

March for Babies
Saturday was the March of Dimes walk here in Austin. The weather was great if you like it hot and humid. The overcast skies kept it a little cooler but not much. The walk was very scenic. It started at the Palmer Event Center and then went past the Capital. It was a great workout up and down the hills of downtown Austin. We saw a few families that we knew in the NICU and a few of the NICU staff. Afterward we hung around for a little while and ate with the Best family (Abigail & Porter- their blog is one of our favorites). Then loaded the hot sticky girls into the car and we all came home for showers! I had coated the girls in sun screen which never absorbed in due to the humidity. We had a great time and agreed that this will be a tradition for us.
We made these signs for the stroller.
The girls rode in this ambulance when they were transported to the NICU...
Walk down Congress..
Our first picture at the Capital.

A first.....
Today we went back to Dr. Sanders for a check up concerning our reflux. Of course we got to do my favorite part the weigh in! Mallory weighs 9lbs 5 oz and Kelby weighs 9lbs 3oz. Their reflux seems to be getting better. I can not thank Diane and Stacey enough for recomending Dr. Sanders to us. She is so good. Anyway today was the first day Mallory had to do something that Kelby didn't. Anyone with multiples knows that most of the time it is 'guilt by association'. However today Mallory had to have blood drawn but Kelby got to escape the needle. Dr. Sanders is checking her Thyroid to make sure everything is okay. Mallory has had a little bit of a problem with constipation and her weight gain has slowed down a bit.
Mallory did very good and didn't get to upset. The bottom lip was out and we had a huge sad face (totally called for)- but she has screamed louder than she did today. I felt bad because she had just gone to sleep and was so relaxed. Kelby was silent the whole time. I know she was thinking - if I don't make a sound they will forget me.
We are changing formula and upping the calorie intake so our girls should be growing like weeds in no time!

Early Start for Monday
4:35am - I heard the cry of hungry girls. So we quickly ( I have it down to 35min) ate a little snack. Normally we drift back to sleep after 2oz. Not the case on Monday. We finished our 3oz (they don't get really hungry at night) and decided it was time to play. Only one small problem. Mama didn't think so. Despite my efforts to pat them asleep I realized this was not going to work. So we compromised. They could stay up IF they hung out in their room.
