Already 6 weeks old!



Sophia and Sawyer are doing great. I can't believe they are already 6 weeks old. They still eat every 4 hours and are up to 4 ounces at each feeding. They are doing very well on their schedule and are very happy babies. We feel very blessed!
Breastfeeding is still going well and I am able to produce about 90% of their supply, the rest we supplement with formula.

Sophia takes after her Mother with all of her energy and Sawyer is pretty laid back like his Daddy. If we could get them to sleep longer at night we would have no complaints! The lack of sleep is the hardest part....... Sophia weighs 6 lbs 10 ounces and Sawyer is up to 6 lbs 4 ounces, they are feeling like regular sized babies now.

Thank you all for your continued prayers and support.

1 month old!!!






1 month already, what an awesome month it's been. I'll tell you they grow every single day!! We are still breastfeeding and that is going well, I'm still able to provide about 90% of their daily supply. I will say that breastfeeding is a HUGE job and I give huge props to those that have been able to do it! Between feeding, pumping, and changing it leaves little time for sleep! However, it's worth every bit, these babies are amazing and make us smile every single day!!

Twins are 3 weeks!





It's been the most amazing 3 weeks of our lives! I will tell you, the stay in the NICU seems like so long ago! Sophia and Sawyer have been home almost 2 weeks and we have enjoyed every single second. They are doing wonderful! Sophia weighs in at 5lbs 1 ounce and Sawyer weighs 4 lbs 10 ounces. They eat every 4 hours and are pretty much on the same schedule. I am able to provide them with 90% breast milk and then I have to supplement with 10% formula, I keep hoping my body will catch up!

They are truly the biggest blessing in the world!

Twins are home!!!




Sawyer and Sophia came home today! We are so happy not to be spending 16+ hours a day at the hospital! They love their new room and seem to have settled in!!

At the hospital




Sophia and Sawyer are here born February 26, 2009!!! They both spent 9 days in the NICU. They are a blessing from above!!

Sawyer had a few issues but is great now! Sophia spent her time in the NICU learning how to eat and gaining weight!

Thank you all for your prayers!

33 1/2 week update!!

We are still holding strong and doing wonderful... The babies are growing. Baby girl weighs in at 3 lbs 15 ounces, Baby boy weighs in at 4 lbs 7 ounces. Dr. Nilson is still very concerned about baby girl. Yesterday he guessed we would have these babies within the next 2 weeks. He said baby girl will determine when they will arrive. She must take after her Mom in a hurry all the time and ready to be born! We are hoping to put some additional weight on her before she makes her debut into this world.

Bed rest is still bed rest... it's not fun but it's better me here than them in the NICU. Richard is taking AWESOME care of me and he almost has the nursery finished. I hope to post nursery pictures soon.

Thank you all for your continued support and prayers!!!
