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.

Update

Not much new to report - the girls are both doing great. Mallory is now taking three bottles a day. She is now 4 lb 11 oz and Kelby is 3 lb 13 oz. They are getting bigger everyday and are getting more alert all the time. Mallory was really sleepy at lunch today for her bottle feeding, but she took most of it - she was just really relaxed and comfortable. Kelby is staying awake a lot more now and is a lot more alert, I held her yesterday while she was getting her feeding and she was awake the whole time, just looking around. They are both looking so much bigger and healthier now. We should have them home in a few weeks!

Isn't it crazy how fast these babies can grow? Pretty soon they'll be calling you with "Come get your babies!"
So excited for ya'll.
