Our Happy Family

It is official. We finally got our first photo with our newest additions. I know it isn't the greatest, but we will take anything we can get. Aiden and Collin are right next to each other, (Collin in the red blanket) and Brock is all by himself because he has been on antibiotics for a tummy infection. We didn't want him any closer to the other two, because we don't need any more infections. Matt and the girls came down with my mom and dad yesterday. It was so good to see all of them. After seeing the boys, Matt and the girls went camping down to Nephi to a family reunion. They really enjoyed themselves. Today Matt went back home and left the girls with me for the week. It is really good to have them down here. I missed them. Although when Matt left, Paige was crying really hard. She wanted her daddy, but she didn't want to go home with him. She just wanted him to stay with us. It is getting harder on the girls. They are starting to really feel the effects of our crazy summer. This will soon all be over and we be able to stay at home as a family. We can all hardly wait. It has been a couple of days since my last post, so I will give you the update on the boys.

Aiden is doing fabulous. Last night he broke 3 lbs. He weighed in at exactly 3 lbs. 1/2 oz. Yeah Aiden. He is still breathing on his own and doing great. He also lost his umbillical chord yesterday. Today he graduated to preemie size diapers.

Brock is doing better. Yesterday they took the big tube (Anderson tube) out of his mouth that was suctioning the gross stuff out. He continues to only get what fluids he needs through the IV. They took another Xray of his tummy today and it was pretty much back to normal, so they will start his feeds again tomorrow. We are all very glad. We need to get him chunked up. Last night he weighed 2 lbs. 8 oz. and he also graduated to preemie diapers today. They are more like a shirt on him though. Today he also had to get his sodium level tested. He is peeing all of his sodium out of his system, so they are going to give him additional sodium.

Collin is doing pretty good too. Like Brock he also has low sodium, but not as low as Brock's. He is getting additional sodium in his feeds. He also moved up a diaper size to preemie. Last night he weighed 2 lbs. 12 oz. so he is gaining on Aiden. He is still on the canule, but has been pretty low on it.

Aiden is in the white blanket and Collin is in the red blanket.
