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.

First Balloon



The girls got their first balloon the other day. I am a wimp when it comes to hearing them pop, so I have not let them play with them before. Our grocery store hands them out periodically, not wanting to admit that I am 31 years old and scared of balloons I graciously said "Of course they would love one". They did great with them. Mallory was more interested in the lollipop at the bottm of the string than the balloon itself. The balloons lasted all the way home, to take Heidi to the dog park to play and then peacefully floated away.

LOL! I am afraid of the pop too. I hate blowing them up or being around someone blowing them up. Or tying them. Or popping them. I just try to stay away from them at all costs.
