The most gorgeous pics and video........



































































The most amazing lady emailed me a couple of weeks ago offering to do a photo shoot of our beautiful babies! As you can see, her work is amazing and it brings me to tears everytime I see these photos. Please check out her website at http://www.laurieruthphotography.com/ she is fabulous!
All of the babies are doing very well. The only scary thing that has happened lately is Preston has an infection but they are controlling that with antibiotics. Also, last week we were told that he would not have to have heart surgery to correct his PDA. Today, however, we have learned that his infection has opened the PDA and he will have to have the surgery now. The doctors are hoping that we can hold off until he is more stable and until they can get rid of the infection before they have to perform the surgery.
Madelyn is doing so well on her CPAP! Her settings continue to go down every single day! Dahlia and Parker are getting medications to help their ventilator settings become more consistent so that they can get on the CPAP as well.
They have all been gaining weight except for Preston, but this is very good because we want Preston to continue to pee out all of that fluid. Their current weights are:
Dahlia- 2 pounds 14 ounces
Parker- 2 pounds 9 ounces
Madelyn- 2 pounds 5ounces
Preston- 3 pounds 3 ounces

We are so proud of them! We are getting really excited for them to come home. It wont be for a while but we are so eager to be their primary caregivers! We also are very excited for them to meet their big sister Eva!!!

Wow, those are really gorgeous pics. What a blessing. That song is one of my favorites, too. I listened to it a lot when I felt it was time to have #4. I still cry every time I hear it.

Wow, Jenna those pics are amazing, I especially love the ones of them moving and squirming around! So precious! I wish I had more pics of Nolan from the NICU, I didn't think I would want them, but now I wish I had more! You guys continue to be in our thoughts and prayers!
