there's a competition brewin'

Both babies are now 2 pounds 10 ounces! They seem to be growing more and changing more each day. Both draw up the sides of their mouths and seem to smile. Both can pick up their head and turn it with some effort from side to side. Both can tuck their little legs under them when placed on their bellies and push with their toes. So sweet - I sit at their incubators and smile a big silly smile everyday now. I smile until my cheeks hurt just thinking of all of their progress.

Then I say, "Thank you." Thanks to all of the doctors, nurses and hospital staff whose careful efforts have brought us so far. Thanks to our church for such amazing spiritual and emotional support. Thanks to our family and friends - those friends who are as close as family and those we've never even met. Thank you. We are truly blessed, privileged and just plain lucky to have made it so far. May the progress continue.

Love,
Heather
