Well, I just had to write a quick post before bed because we have crossed a big mile-stone!! I just hung up the phone with Sara (the boys really sweet night time nurse) to check in on them before I went to bed. She told me that Mitchell weighed in at 3 lbs. 9 oz. and Parker was 3 lbs. even!! We are officially done with the 2 lbs.!! HOORAY!! They are getting HUGE and we are super excited!! Once both boys weigh 3.5 lbs. they can start wearing clothes and once they get to 4.1 lbs. they can get out of their little igloos and into a open air crib!! Parker got his canula off today, which means the only thing they have on their faces are their little feeding tubes. Also, they are both supposed to try feeding out of a bottle at some point this week!! They say around 34-35 weeks gestation is when they learn the "suck, swallow, and breath" thing. Yesterday they were 34 weeks, so hopefully they will catch on to the eating thing pretty quick!! What a wonderful Christmas as we have been given the 2 most precious gifts that God could give us!! I feel like they are doing so much better since I last wrote and I know it's because so many people have been praying!! We really can't thank all of you enough!! The very next day after that last post, God gave me peace and encouragement!! He is SOOO good and always listens to our worries!! Please keep praying as we still have a long road ahead!! We just can't wait to get them out of that hospital so everyone can see their sweet little faces!!
