Life with Twins

We are getting somewhat adjusted to life with twins. I don't know how this is going to work when we add one more into the mix. We will figure it out though. Aiden and Collin are such good little babies. All they do according to the girls is eat and sleep. Which is actually correct. Thank heavens for the wonderful nurses who got them on a schedule. Right now they eat every 4 hours at 8:00, 12:00 and 4:00. Not to bad if you ask me. This is actually manageable. They are such precious little boys. I love just watching them and their little expressions. I am so very lucky to have three cute little boys.

Brock is still hanging out in the NICU. He is being somewhat stubborn. I was hoping that he would pick up the pace and get the bottle feeding figured out so he could come to Idaho and join his family. He has other things in mind. SLEEP. He is getting close to the point where he will take all of his feedings by bottle. Let's hope that he is successful when that comes. Matt is going down this next weekend and he will hopefully be able to bring him home. If not, he will stay down there with him and help push him along to get him home. He is gaining weight still, so that is a good thing. Thursday night he weighed 4 lbs. 9 oz., Friday 4 lbs. 11 oz. and then last night he lost 5 grams so he at about 4 lbs. 10 3/4 oz. I am sure he is getting lonely down there all by himself. Grandma Nielson goes in several times a week to visit and hold him. Thanks to Grandma for keeping a good eye on him. We love you Brock.

Brook,
I ran into your blog through Megan's. We have been wondering how you are getting along. I am thrilled to hear that your boys are doing well. How much fun. There is a couple in our ward that are expecting surprise triplets in December. Craziness. Anyway good luck we are thinking about you.
