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.

In review. . . . . . .

The past few months have been filled with a few family trips and lots of time staying cool in this insane Austin heat. You know it has been hot when you get excited that it will only be 94 for the next few days.

The girls are each talking up a storm and their babble is turning into actual audible conversation. They both have become very helpful with cleaning up toys, making beds, putting up laundry etc. It is so fun to ask them to do things and watch them think it all through.

Kelby weighs almost 22lbs now and Mallory is still holding on to 19lbs for all it is worth. We are working with her doctor and meeting with a nutritionist soon to help get her over the 20lb mark and off to gaining again. She is our picky eater so adding calories to her diet is a little tricky. But over all they are still fabulously healthy!

We have a bunch of really cute giggling videos. We will try to add one tonight and maybe a few pics too!
