Eat, Sleep, Grow

Sorry for the lack of posting and keeping everyone updated. It has been a very stressful and busy week with all the travel Heather has been doing. She is exhausted beyond exhausted, and we still have to travel back to Houma today for her Grandmothers funeral tomorrow. The family had to wait to have the ceremony to celebrate Mrs. Mary's life until all they could all make it in from their various locations.

The babies are doing really well. They are gaining weight now, and Mary Louise weighs 3#5.8oz, and David is 2#12.2oz. David gains big one day and then loses a little the next, but all in all he is doing well. Heather made it back Wednesday evening in time to bathe both of her babies. I sat with them while they were being fed and introduced the pacifier while feeding. David likes his pacifier, and Mary Louise needs a little bit more encouragement.

Yesterday evening it was my turn to bathe both babies by myself, what a great feeling. Unfortunately I am crazy about getting them clean and take too long. The babies got too cold, so Heather helped me lotion them up so I could get them back in their isolettes. I just love to sit there with them and am mesmerized by their personalities. We are getting ready to go to the hospital to see them before we head out of town. We will race back tomorrow evening to see them - Can't miss a day, they progress so much, we don't want to miss anything.

Thank you for your continued prayers and happy thoughts.

Brent
