Mommy,Daddy and Eva on our anniversary

I am so so so sorry it has taken me so long to post again! Life has been way busy and Trever and I never ever have down time. First of all Trever and I celebrated our 4 year anniversary yesterday! I love him so much and I am so happy to have him as my husband! These 4 years have been jam packed with events that have really changed our lives! I am the happiest I have ever been!

Madelyn-

OK this little fireball of a baby is doing FABULOUS! She actually could come home as early as next week! We are so excited I cannot even tell you! Once she gets up to 8 feedings per day on the bottle she can come home. Right now she is at 5 and every couple of days she will go up to another bottle feed. She looks just like Eva when Eva was a baby. It is amazing! She is still on the canula but at extremely low settings. The doctors are wanting to get her feeds up before they completely take her off of the canula. In fact, she will probably be sent home on oxygen. She weighs 5 pounds 7 ounces and she is now the same size as Preston and she is no longer our smallest baby. She is still wearing preemie sized clothing, but not for long!

Preston-

Preston is really doing AMAZING! He has been extubated and went onto the SIPAP for a couple of days. He was doing so well on that so they moved him onto the CPAP. He has been doing great on that and he is supposed to be on canula today! I cannot believe how well he has been doing! He is so handsome and still has honey blonde hair! He loves to hear our voice and wakes up right away when he hears us! He has now outgrown his preemie clothes :( :) kind of bittersweet. The other day he had high bands from his blood culture which can indicate an infection. They decided to investigate further and all results came back negative for infection! We were relieved to not have to deal with another major setback. If all goes well with bottle feeding, he should be able to be home by his due date on April 14th.

Parker-

This little man is such a flirt! He is making all of the NICU nurses sign up to be primaries for our babies because he flirts with them lol! He is on nasal canula and working down his settings. He had a bit of a setback because he was a little too aggressive at nursing and got overwhelmed. So for a couple of days they had to move him back to CPAP. We havent started bottle feeding him again but we should be back to doing that within the next day or two. He is now our smallest baby weighing in at 5 pounds 7 ounces. He has outgrown his preemie clothes too!

Dahlia-

Dahlia is such a little fighter! She has been working so hard on the SIPAP and her settings are still pretty high. The doctors might administer steroids in the next few days to help her out a little bit because they are trying to avoid reintubating her. She is now our biggest baby and weighs in at 6 pounds 1 ounce! I cannot believe how big she is getting! She too, has outgrown her preemie clothes.

All of the babies range in about the 50th percentile for size which is amazing because they were born at 25 weeks and are high order multiples. They are now 36 weeks and 3 days. This journey has been so long and Trever and I both are ready to have them home! We appreciate all of the support we have gotten from our friends and family members and we love you all!
