One Month Old!

The boys are one month old today! Time has sure flown by. Tomorrow also marks 3 weeks home from the hospital. We are loving having them home and have got ourselves into a nice little routine with them. As of last Tuesday, Kai is up to 6 pounds 5 ounces and Kamdyn is at 6 pounds 8 ounces. I feel that even since then they have grown so much so they are probably both in the sevens now. They are still eating every three hours during the day and we are trying to get them to go 4 hours at night. For the most part they are happy babies, but definitely have their fussy times where they just want to be held. 

Life is sure different having two babies at home, but we wouldn't have it any other way. We are so thankful that they are healthy and growing strong. We have waited a long time for this and thank god every day for these two little miracles. 

On February 15, we celebrated Traysen's 2nd birthday. We miss him everyday still and constantly think about what life would be like if he was here. I am sure he would have been a great big brother and would have loved Kai and Kamdyn so much. We know he his looking down on us everyday though looking out for all of us.  Happy 2nd birthday buddy we miss you so much! 

Here are some pictures from the past month of the twins!

We are home!

We got discharged today! I will post more later, but we are so happy to be home! 

One Week Old

What a week it has been! Kai and Kamdyn are doing great. They both ended up needing feeding tubes because they are just too sleepy to finish a full bottle. Kai takes about 50% percent of his feeds by bottle and then is tube fed the rest. Kam is taking about 40% by bottle. Yesterday and today they have started to take a few more full bottles and then stay awake for awhile after so hopefully they are gaining some strength and energy.  Kamdyn developed jaundice so he needed to be under lights for a day. They have been testing each of their blood daily since then for jaundice and so far they have been good so we may not have to worry about that anymore.  Some days they gain weight and some days they lose weight. We have been told that usually about the 7-10 day mark is when they start pack on the pounds. Yesterday they gained about 2 ounces each so hopefully we are in the upward trend. Kai is about an ounce away from birth weight and Kamdyn is just a couple ounces away.  They are considered feeders and growers right now and as soon as they can take all of their feeds by bottle, they can come home. 

Dillon and I both came down with colds and are getting pretty worn out with trying to take care of ourselves, but also trying to be with the boys as much as possible. We know they are in good hands in the nursery, but it is hard for us to be away.  We are both so happy and relieved the boys are here and are doing so well and we just hope and pray they can come home soon. 

Here are a few pictures of our handsome little boys!
