Wish I Were Home

Yesterday my dad came down to Utah to see his grandkids and to taxi Matt and the girls home. They had been away from home for over a month and were very anxious to get home. They called me when they got home last night and they were so excited. I am extremely jealous that they are at home in Idaho and that I am sweltering hot in Utah. Matt will get to play Mr. Mom this week and then they will be back for the weekend. They will be doing a lot of back and forth for awhile, but it will soon be over.

The little boys are doing really well. Aiden came off of the canule on Thursday. So him and Collin are breathing on their own. Brock hopefully isn't to far behind. They are all gaining weight. I am glad they aren't losing any more. Yesterday they all got new isolettes. They change them out every two weeks, so they were due. Aiden is the only one that got a different isolette. He doesn't have to be on the humidity any longer because his weight is high enough. Aiden's murmur is still there. Yesterday they said it was a little louder, but they were thinking it was louder because it is possibly starting to close. They also heard a little murmur on Brock yesterday. They aren't worried about it though and they aren't going to treat it because he is doing so well. Each day is a step towards going home. We are patiently counting the days and they just aren't passing fast enough. I need to be more patient, but after two months from being away from home, I can't hardly wait to head North.

I promised the girls I would try to post daily so they can see the pictures of their brothers. They are so very cute with them. The boys are very lucky to have such sweet older sisters. They are so cute and careful around them. Kayla is so cute to watch when she touches them. She is so gentle and she touches them with just one little finger. How precious all 5 of my children are. I am so lucky to be a mom. What better job in life.

Aiden - Notice the binky. It is a regular size binky, but since his head is so small, it looks gigantic.









Brock - Matt got to hold him and he looks so small in Matt's hands.





Collin - still the favorite brother. I am hoping they will soon decide they are all their favorites.

Brooke I heard about your pregancy from my inlaws back when you first found out and have wondered how things are going. Saw Kristen over the 4th and she told me about your blog. I was happy to check your blog today and see that the boys have arrived safely and are doing well. I applaud you and hope you are able to take them home soon. When I saw that they were born at 28 weeks and 5 days it sent my heart fluttering. That is what I am at right now with my third boy pregnancy. Good to know that things can work out this early. Hang in there and good luck!

Hey Brook!
The boys look great. I'm so glad that they are progressing and that you are doing well. You have a great attitude. Thanks for keeping up the posts. Take care

Hey...when Ian was born he had a heart murmur and they played it down. They said was very common and it will close on its own...it did.
Hopefully the murmurs in your boys will be as common. Good luck with everything.
I think we will be coming down around the 16th of August.
I'll call you.
