2 Days Old

Well, the babies are now 2 days old, and they are doing great. Both boys are now off of the oxygen, and are getting close to being able to come off their feeding tubes & IVs. Kayla is a little behind the boys, but she is doing very well. She is on oxygen, and is being fed through the feeding tube & the IV, but she is still ahead of where most babies are when they are born her size. And the doctor told us that if these breathing issues are all we have to deal with, then we should consider ourselves lucky. Julie is also doing well. She was able to get up and walk around for a while today, and has much more of an appitite than she did yesterday.

Here are some snap shots of the last few days:



This was Julie & I just one day before the babies were born.

Us at the hospital just minutes after they told us the babies were definitely being born that night. Julie said she wasn't sure how she was able to smile for that picture considering she was in full on labor at the time.

After the babies were born, they gave us three hats, each one with the footprints of one of the babies.

Julie's first trip down to see our new babies.

Our first time getting to hold one of our babies. I got to hold Braden, and Julie got to hold Kayla.

Daddy getting to feed Daniel for the first time, and Kayla grabbing her Daddy's finger.


And of course the Grandmas and Grandpas are loving the time with their new grandchildren.

And here are new pictures of Kayla, Braden, & Daniel only two days old.


Enjoy and stay tuned for more.
