Mallory and Kelby: For you Aunt Dixie!

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.

For you Aunt Dixie!

My Great Aunt Dixie always laughs at my Mom for buying the girls toys. She says all they want to play with is Tupperware, boxes and plastic cups, there is no need to waste money on silly toys.

I have to say she is absolutely right! Mallory finally discovered our stash of Tupperware in the pantry. And for almost 3 hours this is all she played with. So many things you can do with it. Scoot it, throw it, chew on it, attempt to stand up with it, and of course bang on it. She kept grinning at us and laughing. I had a feeling she was thinking "Gosh, why didn't I get this from Santa?"
