Mallory and Kelby: Shhh, Testing in Progress!

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.

Shhh, Testing in Progress!

As many of you know Jeremy is taking his PE exam on April 24th (prayers please!). This weekend he took a practice test. The girls woke up from naps about an hour to soon. Rainy weather canceled out the swinging outside or the walk so we opted for snack time. A little popcorn in a snack cup shut them up for about 45min. Haha!I have never seen the girls eat so quietly! It was priceless, if they dropped, the quickly picked it up and savored the very last morsel of popcorn. We have had it before but apparently that was what they were craving.

*Oh and normally a basket decoratively hides the collect of stuffed animals, but the basket also makes a fabulous Easter basket for the Easter bunny to leave his treasures.
