The girls are both doing really well. Mallory is now 3 lb 2 oz and Kelby is 2 lb 6 oz. Kelby is still a little bit behind her sister since she had to be taken off of her feedings for a few days a while back. They are both eating well now and breathing well on CPAP. Mallory's air has been turned down a little (meaning she is starting to breathe better on her own) and the doctor told us yesterday that they will probably be turning Kelby's down in a few days, they probably could do it now, but they don't want to rush it. Mallory has been put on medication for the rapid heartbeat episodes she was having last week and she has not had any since then. The doctors are going to try to take her off of the medication this week and see how that goes. They think she may have just outgrown it and will not need the medication, we'll see. We have been able to hold them both quite a bit and they are growing so much everyday. Some of the nurses that haven't cared for them in a while come by to see them and can't believe the progress they've made in the last few weeks. They are getting bigger, their little legs and arms are even starting to get a little bit chubby if you can believe that. They're just starting to fill out and they're looking more like full term babies. They've still got a ways to go, but they're getting there.

WOW! Can you believe Mal is over 3 lbs? That is amazing! Kelby will catch up quickly, I'm sure. It was so great to see you guys last week. Have a wonderful New Year! Love you all.
Awesome news! Isn't it amazing how fast they grow? We wish you all a Happy New Year!

What great progress they're making! Your girls are now just about the weights my girls were at birth. I bet you've got your babies home by the end of January!
