Just wanted to share our big news. The boys arrived a week ago Saturday (7-7-07) unexpectedly. We were hoping to make it to 34 wks, but did very well making to 32!!! I had been hospitalized the weekend before, and received a steroid shot to help the development of their lungs. It paid off, they came out breathing room air on their own!!!! They are in the NICU at Overland Park Regional, and are expected to be there another 2-3 wks. They are gaining back weight. Bryce has passed his birth weight already. We have tried one bottle feeding a day for the past 3 days, they are taking about 5-10 cc from the bottle the rest is taken by a feeding tube through their nose. Altogether they take 35 cc of milk/formula. They were all off IV's as of Thurs. We decided to name them with A,B,C names since that is what we've referred to them thru the whole prenancy. Their pictures are also in alpha order.

I was dismissed from the hospital on Wed. but was able to board at the hospital for 2 additional days, since they were in NICU. I came home Friday evening. Jeff and I are making trips daily up to see them and deliver milk. We are all doing really well. Thank you so much for all they prayers, they definitely paid off!!!

I apologize for exposing everyone's email address, but if there is someone that would like to get the news that isn't on the list, please pass it along!

We'll keep you posted.
