Nicholas and Joseph : Day 47!!!

WE HAVE A 4 POUNDER!!!! Last night Joseph hit the 4lb mark on the nose, and Kalleigh and I were both there to witness it!!! We were very excited as he reached this new milestone to say the least, an to think that he has put on 1.5lb's in 6 1/2 weeks is great!!! Nicholas went up the charts as well hitting 3lb 9.75oz so were hoping by this time next week both boys are over the 4lb mark!!! Joseph will be monitored for his temperature now, and as long as he can hold his temperature without the help of an incubator they will move him to an open crib!!! That will be a very exciting day for us as well!

Both boys are doing great and were very active during last night's hands on! Kalleigh and I both got to change diapers and put their pajamas on!!! It was exciting to be there with Kalleigh during this time, and we really only needed Vince to complete the picture!!! We will begin face timing with one another while we are at the hospital so Vince can start to know his brothers a little more. Right now we just show him pictures and explain to him that his two brothers are in the hospital, and Mommy and Daddy go see them everyday. He seems to be getting it a little more now, and it's priceless when he kisses their pictures on our phones!!! Out of all of the challenges we have faced, I think not having Vince see his brothers is becoming one of the hardest, especially now since they really only have their nasal canula's in and the NG feeding tubes. Before we didn't want him to see them with their IV's and other lines in, but now since they are doing so well, we're excited to have him meet them when they come home!!! We know we're still a long way away from that day, but we couldn't be happier with the progress that these boys continue to show!
