August 30, 2012 - Happy 3 Month Old Twins!

Today, Adam and Kylee turned 13 weeks old!  We cannot believe they are three months old already!  It is hard to imagine life before them.

Adam is still in the hospital but has graduated to the big kid nursery where babies stay before they go home.  Adam has been in the Neonatal ICU (NICU) 91 days.  He is taking all of his feedings by bottle now and is no longer getting any help breathing.  His eye surgery was a success and his eyes are developing normally.  Adam now weighs 5 pounds, 4.8 ounces.  He is a big boy!  He is getting closer and closer to coming home every day.

Kylee is running the household.  She is such a little sweet pea!  She talks all day and talks all night.  We cannot imagine what life will be like when Kylee learns words!  We are guessing Adam's first words will be, "Quiet, Kylee!"  Adam is the quiet one of the two, at least for now...  Kylee lights up a room with her big, beautiful smiles.  She now weighs 4 pounds, 12 ounces.

Mommy and Daddy are exhausted and looking forward to Adam coming home.  They are looking forward to finding out what it is like not to go to the hospital every day.  They cannot imagine what it will be like with two infants at home!

Many have asked how long this blog will continue.  I am going to keep it up for the moment on a weekly basis to keep everyone up-to-date on the twins' progress.  If there is a major event within that timeframe, like Adam coming home, there may be an interim blog.  At some point, it may become a monthly blog.  Wow, imagine the twins' lives so uneventful that we could go a month!  They have come a long way already! If you would like to keep up with the twin's updates and be notified when there is a new one, you can subscribe to this blog.

Thank you for all of the prayers, love, kindness and positive energy.  It is greatly appreciated and we appreciate everyone's support as we have made our way on this journey.  Today was a good day.

  2. Oh Flo! What a journey you've let us all come with you, Mommy, Daddy and most important stars of the blog: Amazing Adam and Princess Kylee. To literally see their progress day by day has been nothing short of inspirational. If these two tiny little angels can fight this hard, battling against all those curve balls starting out, one can only imagine the mountains they will topple in their beautiful lives!
