This afternoon when I went to see the boys, I peeked in at all of them in their little isolettes and I thought to myself how good they all look. They are all really starting to fill out. They aren't little birdie babies anymore. I thought they have looked that way for awhile, but today they just look really good.
Aiden has no new changes. He is doing pretty good. After he gets his feeds, he has several drops in his oxygen, but they aren't that bad. He is still in the lead of being our biggest. Matt nicknamed him "Tank." He weighed 3 lbs. 3 3/4 oz. last night.
Brock is looking so much better today after his blood transfussion. I think his color is alot better and he just looks healthier. They checked his levels last night after the transfussion and they were back to normal. His feeds were increased to 7 mL today and they should continue to go up. The seven day round of antibiotics ends tomorrow and then he should be able to get his PIC line out a couple of days after that. Today they started giving him Zantac because they got a little bit of dried blood out of his tummy when they checked his residual. They think it is just from the Anderson tube that he had down his mouth last week. So they are giving him Zantac for a few days to help his tummy. He is starting to gain on Aiden and Collin in weight. He weighed 2 lbs. 14 oz. last night.
Collin is still the same. The only change for the little guy is the amount of his feeds. They increased to 26 mL. Last night he weighed in at 3 lbs. 1 oz. I am counting my blessings for how good they are doing. We are coming up on 4 weeks and things are looking pretty good. At this point we can just hope that we don't have any major setbacks and that they keep steadily progressing. They are the cutest little angels. It is starting to hit me that I really have 5 kids. This week with having the girls here and spending time with them in the morning and the boys in the afternoon, it is starting to really get tiresome. It is hard to juggle my time between all of them. I hope it will be a little easier when we are all living under one roof. Right now our family is spread out under three different roofs and it is hard. We will make it though.
This last weekend I took the girls to the park.

I'm so glad that they are doing well. The girls LOVE that park. they call it the spiderweb park. I like it because the swings are closer to the playground than ours at our park( you go straight down 1500, over the tracks, through the 4way and take the first left!) call sometime and we will meet you! 801-633-5198. I know I keep saying it, but this week is especially cool and we want to get outside more... good luck boys!!
( I don't know if you remember me or not, our husbands work together at the city and our kids took gymnastics together) Anyways, I saw your hubby at work today and he told me about your blog when I asked about the babies. So, congratulations on your sweet little boys. I can't believe how tiny they are, we were comparing my baby to your boys who were all born pretty close together. My one baby weighed more than all three of yours combined and still probably weighs more! It is so crazy to see how small those babies can be and still be doing so well. Anyways, best of luck in your new crazy life!
I am so gald the boys are doing good. I love the updates. Keep them coming. Your girls look darling at the park. Can't wait to see more.
