Merry Christmas!

2 Month Stats

The babies had their 2 month appointment today and the pediatrician was thrilled with their progress, as were we.

Kesleigh: 11 lbs 12 oz.
Preston: 8 lbs 2 oz.
Gavin: 9 lbs 5 oz.

As you can see the babies are growing like crazy. Kesleigh is in the 75th percentile for her weight and that's not adjusted for her prematurity. She is also in the 90th percentile for her head not adjusted for her prematurity. The boys are both at the 5-10th percentile before adjusted for prematurity and the 50th percentile with it adjusted for their prematurity.

To Tide you Over

Here are some pics to tide you over while I am in the hospital.

Kesleigh loves to look around now and gets upset when she can't see everything going on

Personalities

This is a pretty accurate portrayal of their personalities. Kesleigh is alert and looking around, Gavin is wide eyed, and Preston lets us know he's not having fun. They are all great babies but definitely show us their personalities and let us know when they're not happy!

I'm going to miss these babies so much when I am in the hospital next week.

Thankful

This Thanksgiving there are so many things that I have to be thankful for. First and foremost I am thankful for the miracle of my beautiful babies, every day they light up my life. I am thankful for the journey that we had to take to get these babies, as hard as it may have been. I am thankful for God and his path for me. I know it is so cliche to hear, "Everything happens for a reason," but I truly believe that. Granted I did not want to listen to this when the bad things were going on but I kept on trucking knowing that it would all turn out OK. There is a reason God gave us THREE beautiful babies. I am so grateful for my wonderful husband and my amazing support system of family and friends, there is no way we would be able to do this without them. Finally, I am grateful for my medical insurance and the amazing medical care I receive on an ongoing basis whether it be for the babies or for my own cancer. I cannot imagine not having insurance and pray often for those who do not have it that they remain healthy.

So Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours and I hope you have a wonderful day!

NICU Pics

Once again my amazingly talented friend Carri has come through with some great pics. These were taken while the babies were in the NICU just a day after their birth. The picture with some of them is of Barton when he was a baby, see any resemblance? HA!

Enjoy!
