Time Flys!!!

Where has the time gone? Our little Super Heroes are days away from being one month old!! Tryan and Jaxson are growing day by day!

Jaxson had a good week. He has really enjoyed being off the cpap. He keeps his eyes open a lot more and is starting to make facial expressions. Of course, he doesn't comprehend that he is grinning but it's pretty darn cute nonetheless when he starts a grinnin!! Jaxson has also figured out hown to suck on his hands. We have introduced a paci but he isn't quite sure about it. Once they are 31 or 32 weeks we can start trying to nurse! Even though they may be tiny they areally still developing like a full term baby and it is so incredible to watch it happen. Jaxson is our laid back baby, however, he will show you his attitude if you make him mad.

Mr.Tryan got off his cpap this past Sunday. He had been weaned to level 4 on the cpap but wasn't fully ready to go to a nasal cannula. However, the cpap was starting to rub a sore on his nose and his belly was getting full of air. He was put on a high flow nasal cannula. A high flow is a mix between cpap and a low flow nasal cannula. He seems to be tolerating it very well so far and is a much happier baby. This kid is very entertaining. He tries multiple times a day and succeeds to escape his snuggly and work himself to the end of the isolate. He also has shot baby poop out of the isolate and all over a nurse! Tryan has also figured out facial expressions and will grin and try to stick his fingers in his mouth.

We are at the "boring" stage right now where the kiddos need to grow. Last night Jaxson weighed 2lbs 7 ounces and Tryan weighed 2lbs 2.5 ounces. Both boys have been fluctuating back and forth on weight gain. It is driving mommy and daddy crazy!
Today, the boys got a blood transfusion. The levels were right under the qualification. They read the hematocrit levels on them once a week. Last week the levels were above qualification so they didn't get a transfusion.

Mom and dad are doing good, however, we are ready for our family to get back together! Daddy is exhausted from burning up the road back and forth and mommy is tired of the city living!!

Again, we want to thank our family and friends for all the support, love and prayers!! We especially want to thank Carla, Dr.Greg and my parents for keeping the clinic going and to all the clients for the continued support! Also, thank you to Roxie for cooking some delicious foods for us! Everyday we are one day closer to being home!!!!
