What a crazy time it has been since May 30! The boys are FANTASTIC and came home last week! So since I am a bit exhausted here is a run down of just how fantastic they are..
Friday, June 3: Jenny & Dave home from the hospital. Hard to leave without those boys.
Thursday, June 9: Kellen and Liam are HOME! We were shocked when we went for the NICU visit on Wednesday and the doctor said we could bring them home after our overnight visit! I thought Kellen would be home first but didn't think it was going to happen that week and when she said Liam was coming home too...the best news! Though I really did NOT think I would be bringing home a baby less than 4 pounds! Their departing weight (taken on Wednesday night) was Kellen 4lbs 13oz and Liam 3lbs 12.5oz.
Friday, June 10: 1st doctor visit...Kellen was 5lbs 1oz and Liam was 4lbs. They LOVE to eat! A big weight gain in about 2 days.
Tuesday, June 14: 2nd Doctor visit...Kellen 5lbs 9oz and Liam 4lbs 9oz. HUGE weight gain! The doctors hope that they gain an ounce a day but these guys are gaining 2 ounces a day!
So as you can see they are just doing so well. Dave and I (along with my mom who is here) are doing well too. Tired of course but couldn't be happier than when we are with these little guys. They are already starting to show their personalities. Liam loves to look at you and everything around you including looking at the lights. He is starting to get round in the face as he gains his weight. Kellen...is impatient. He really likes to eat right when he wakes up and gets a little cranky when he has to wait for his food (a little like his father...). He is a sleeper and often will fall asleep as he is eating. Here are a few pictures of the boys...

| Home from the hospital. Fell asleep in an instant during the 5 minute car ride home! |

| Mimi and the boys. (Kellen on left, Liam on right...sleeping...) |

| We came in to check on them and this is what we found. Unswaddled and no longer side by side. |
 |
| Obviously Kellen is too cool for the camera. |
 |
| Double feeding...need to get better at this! Not too bad for a first try. |
 |
| Dad is tired. |
I am glad to here that everyone is home and doing well.
ReplyDeleteThey look so good! I can't believe how quickly they are packing on the weight, way to go boys!! Last night we went and bought the car seat you have (our old one doesn't fit in Chris' car) I can't believe their little legs don't extend past the infant insert!!! I also like your stack of LCHS yearbooks on the bookshelf, look at those often :)
ReplyDeleteKellen and Liam look fantastic! I can't believe how fast they are growing! That's fantastic weight gain! Your Mom looks like a wonderfully happy Grandma!!! I can hardly wait to get there!!!! Love to you all!! Extra kisses for Kellen and Liam!!!
ReplyDeleteNice work on the double feed! Glad to hear the boys are doing so well...that's awesome news. Kellen looks like he had a rough day needing to cover his eyes, clearly eating, sleeping and pooping is too much for that dear little boy.
