We hit a milestone today, Savannah, Cheyenne, and Brody. All three of you are finally eating breast milk. This is such a great sign that one day we will actually be able to take you all home. There are so many different things going on with each of you, and all your mother and I can do is sit, wait, and watch.

Cheyenne, your day was eventful. They had to give you a blood transfusion, because they have been trying to give you a pic line to take place of you UAC (the lines in your bellybutton). Also because they take so much blood everyday to run test that your little body just couldn't keep up. You are coming down on your ventilator settings slowly, but hopefully in a couple more days you will be back on CPAP. I wanted to hold you so bad, but the doctors wouldn't let me because they were giving you blood.

Savannah, you are doing very well right now. You get to keep increasing your feeds, which will help you grow big and strong, and your doing good on CPAP. Your mother and I where able to hold you and your brother for a little while. It really helps to calm you down.

Brody, the doctors moved your next Brain Ultrasound to tomorrow. Since you had the worst bleeds, they want to make sure its not getting worse. I also got to work with the developmental therapist and you yesterday. She taught me how to help settle you down when your uncomfortable.

It really is great when we get to hold you little guys. All three of you just go from being agitated while your in your incubator, to just the most calm and peaceful looking little babies when you are in our arms. We could sit there all day long holding you if they would let us. We love you all so much, and we pray that you keep getting stronger.
