Mallory and Kelby: 6 Month Milestone

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.

6 Month Milestone

One Amazing God, Thousands of Prayers by Family & Friends, the wonderful NICU staff of St. David's and two loving parents.

What does all of this have in common?????

Mallory Kate 11/20/07 Four Days Old 1lb 8oz

Kelby Grace 11/20/07 Four Days Old 1lb 5oz

Mallory 5/20/08 22 inches & 9lb 8oz

Kelby 5/20/08 22inches & 9lbs 5oz

I took these pictures after their bath last night. Mallory loves bath time and Kelby is not so sure why it is important. As you can tell Kelby was not in the mood for a photo op after bath time.
