And the news keeps coming




When we walked in this morning, both Audrey and Norah were off their IVs, had t-shirts on, and had their isolettes opened b/c they are learning to regulate their body temperature. They also are taking a bottle for every-other-feed and were up to 33 cc's (we had misunderstood this information before; they will keep increasing their volume 1 cc every 3 hours). Keep praying for our little girls to grow strong and gain weight!

Sweet Ethan is growing up so quickly. This week he watched Star Wars for the first time with Jace. He watched from beginning to end, including all the credits. When he got home, he found a brown rubber doorstop wedge, and has been flying it around the house as Darth Vader's spaceship (so, let the record show, our son loves to use "trash" as toys). Yesterday he was at a friend's house and played with a Millenium Falcon the whole time. So today, Chris surprised Ethan with Star Wars DVDs....Ethan is THRILLED! He has been telling us all about who the good guys and bad guys are and had to pause the movie to tinkle so he "didn't miss all his favorite parts".

For those of you who think Audrey looks just like Ethan....she really is the spitting image of her Daddy....

AND, someone very sweet made the girls the cutest nametags.

AND, someone else very special wanted to come visit us at the hospital while we were still there, but didn't want to disturb us. She drove there and sat in the parking lot for 40 minutes praying for us and our family. We are humbled and blessed by this kind gesture. There are so many people we want to thank, and we praise the Lord for all of you, and pray for Him to bless you and your families abundantly!!

Such great news! You guys are such a special family! I only wished we lived closer so we could see you more often! :) Is there a specific weight/milestone that the girls need to reach before they can come home?
