Weekend Happenings

Greetings all.  We had a very busy Saturday and a relaxing Sunday.  At this point, the kids have been cleared on the holes in their hearts.  The doctors and nurses have heard murmurs from time to time on each of them.  This is pretty normal and their is nothing they would do about this anyway.  This condition should remedy itself as the kids get bigger.  We did get to take the girls out to meet for the first time outside the womb.  Anniston was rearing to play; Bailey slept through the whole thing.  They did hit each other in the face with their little hands.  It was cute.  Collin is still on his cannula and doing fine.  His oxygen desaturations seem less frequent and less critical.  We will talk with the doctors about it over the next several days.  All the babies are starting to try to nurse.  Their interest level and/or ability to nurse is not real high right now.  They will learn soon.  The only lines that are attached to our children are the feeding tubes and the heart/breathing/oxygen monitors (Collin has his cannula as well).  The girls have made some progress in gaining weight.  Collin has been in a holding pattern.  Pray that they all continue to grow, learn how to nurse and remember to breathe/maintain a consistent heartbeat (don't skip a beat every once in a while).  Thanks for your prayers, visits, calls, posts, cleaning and food.  You don't know how beneficial it is for us to be able to concentrate on the kids.  Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!
