Mallory and Kelby: Early Start for Monday

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.

Early Start for Monday

4:35am - I heard the cry of hungry girls. So we quickly ( I have it down to 35min) ate a little snack. Normally we drift back to sleep after 2oz. Not the case on Monday. We finished our 3oz (they don't get really hungry at night) and decided it was time to play. Only one small problem. Mama didn't think so. Despite my efforts to pat them asleep I realized this was not going to work. So we compromised. They could stay up IF they hung out in their room.
