Oh Happy Day!

Friday, June 21

Kinley was taken off of her breathing tube today! She is quickly catching up to her sister (health-wise anyway). Doctor still wanted to give her time to rest and adjust to breathing on her own, so we still haven't been able to hold her though. Well, Daddy did get to hold her while the nurses changed her bedding. She was quite the mover today...wiggling like crazy! At one point she even managed to get her finger stuck between her oxygen tube and mouth. Luckily Daddy rescued her finger because she was not a happy camper.

Both girls have been taking their feedings well, so they were both upgraded to double the amount of milk they receive every three hours. We are hoping that they will start gaining weight soon. Devyn continues to do well. Her lungs and vocal chords are definitely working....she likes to make her frustration known when you take her out to hold her or change her diaper. She cries until she gets warm and comfortable again.

     Skin-to-Skin time with Devyn

Daddy brought in a shirt for his skin-to-skin time with the girls...something that can be unbuttoned and opened easily. He's already trying to pressure the girls into being sports fans....

The girls continue to be very popular and frequently have visitors. Today, friends Frank and Jada stopped by to say hello and drop off a special gift. These girls already have more clothes than mom and dad combined!

We thank all of our friends and family for your continued support and prayers.



The girls have made amazing progress in their first four days of life. We are truly blessed!
