Today is the last day of June and the twins were born on the last day of May so I guess that makes them one month old today!  Wow! To be able to talk about them in terms of a month, not days or weeks, is a milestone and blessing.

Adam continues to be fragile but he is holding his own.  He is still destating but the destat I saw today was due to a diaper needing changing.  He feels his diaper is dirty or wet and all of his levels drop and bells start going off.  I suppose that is one way to get your diaper changed really quick!  Adam is currently 2 pounds, 1 ounce.

Kylee continues to do well.  She is doing everything she is suppose to be doing, sleeping, growing, and processing nourishment.  She is showing her brother up at the moment with her steady numbers.  She is now 1 pound, 12 ounces.  Kylee likes to routinely help "adjust" her bubbler right off herself.

These two tiny miracles are incredible in person.  The pictures do not begin to do them justice.  Today they slept, but when one of them opens their eyes and starts looking around it is as if the sun has come out.  When the nurses unbundle them to attend to them or pick them up to reposition them, the magnitude of their tininess is apparent.  To see so much life in beings so tiny is nothing short of miraculous.

Thank you for all of the prayers, love, kindness and thoughtfulness we have received.  This journey with our tiny miracles is unspeakably easier with the amazing support we are getting.  Thank you!  Today is a good day.  Adam and Kylee are one month old!
