The little guys are doing really good. When we went to see them yesterday, they had all been moved from room 1 to room 2 in the NICU. That is good. They are all doing so good. Once they moved to room 2, they were able to PIC lines in all of them, so hopefully that helps so they won't keep having to get IV's stuck in them.
Aiden is still only on the canule to help him breathe. They did an echo of his heart murmur after he finished his rounds of antibiotics, and the murmur went from moderate to large to small. At this point they aren't going to do anything else for it, because they are pretty sure it should close on its own. He is pretty much back to birth weight now. He weighed 2 lbs. 9 oz. yesterday.
Brock had a little murmur on his heart on Wednesday, but when they listened on Thursday, they weren't able to here it. So hopefully his is so small that it is pretty much closed on its own. He had lost some weight, but as of yesterday, he was back to his birth weight of 2 lbs. 2 oz. That is good. He is also still on the canule.
Collin is just so laid back all of the time. He never even cries when they put new IV's in. He is still on the canule and is doing really well. He has moments once and a while where he forgets to breathe, so his oxygen really drops. They watch that really closely. Yesterday he weighed in at 2 lbs. 3 1/2 oz. So they have all come around and are now continuing on the gaining of weight instead of losing weight. I just hope they can keep that up.
We continue to make our daily trips in to see them. When we went yesterday afternoon, we were able to help the nurse do the care for all of them. We took their temperatures and changed their diapers. Then we finally got the chance to hold all of our small, precious little boys. How amazing. They are so incredibly small it is hard to believe. Well they are one week old today, and I can't believe how fast the first week went. I just hope the weeks continue to fly by, so I can take my family home.
Paige had a big day yesterday. She lost her second tooth. Grandma Nielson helped her pull it out while we were gone. She was so very excited. The tooth fairy even found her at Grandma Nielson's.

Wow how exciting! We're your third cousins and how fun to say we have three new third cousins :) I'm Betty Williams daughter so I'm sure we'll hear more when we visit Tom and Sue this next week. Be good to yourself!

Matt and Brook,
Congratulations!! I over heard some people at church talking about your babies and the pictures on your blog. I also overheard your blog address. I hope you don't mind. They are so cute and I am glad that they are doing well. Congratulations again. This is Michelle Ramirez by the way.
Even when they are so tiny, I can see something "Brook-like" about Aiden's eyes...that is amazing. Their hair is so cute.
