Precious Boys

Well I am alone once again in Utah. My dad came down today to see the boys and he was also Matt's ride home. The goodbyes don't get any easier when he leaves. It is really hard having your family being split up week after week. But there is light at the end of the tunnel. Before I know it I will have me and my 3 boys home in Idaho. The only consolation I keep reminding myself about through all of this is what wonderful, cute little boys I got a result of all of our trials over the summer. No matter how hard this has been, I wouldn't change a thing. I think I have changed some as a wife and a mother and learned that you can't always have a set plan for life. Someone else makes the plan and I was chosen to carry this plan out.

The boys are doing so good today. Aiden continues to be on room air and is doing so good. He took both of his bottles today really well. Last night he weighed 4 lbs. 3 1/2 oz. and he just continues to fill out each day.

Brock is doing super today. He took his only bottle he gets for me today when we first got there. Then later he was awake again when it was time for his cares, so the nurse said to go ahead and try the bottle again. He took a second bottle for me. Yeah. I keep telling him he is going to be left behind if he doesn't pick up the pace. Maybe he is starting to take me seriously. Last night he weighed 3 lbs. 14 1/2 oz. He hasn't gained to much the last couple of days. Hopefully he can break 4 lbs. tonight.

Collin is the leader of the pack. Last night he weighed 4 lbs. 6 1/2 oz. He is also supposed to get two bottles a shift like Aiden. On his last cares for the shift he was awake and rooting, so we decided to try him again with another bottle. It was a success. He took it in less than 15 minutes. If he keeps this up, he may beat Aiden home. Those two are going to be close on coming home together. Who knows, maybe it will be this coming weekend. I can hardly imagine how life will be when I get to actually take them home.
