Two weeks old today!






Another week has passed and today our babies will be two whole weeks old. Last night Daddy held Braddock and I held Julia. The nurses made a "living room" for us in between Julia and Braddock's incubators so we could sit together and hold them at the same time. It's a little more complicated to hold Braddock and Griffin because of their CPAP tubes. We are grateful they made this possible for us. Griffin was held by me the day before but last night he was breathing a little better, so we wanted to let him rest peacefully. I am looking forward to the day when we can hold all three all at once. We're not there yet, but as they get bigger and stronger, that will be possible. I also changed Julia's poopy diaper and took her temperature after I held her. I was feeling like a proud Mom!
All three are doing well and growing a little bit bigger every day. Julia and Braddock's feedings are increasing rapidly. Griffin tolerated his feeding yesterday so every day his will start to increase, too. He had to stop the feedings when he had some medication, but he's back on track now. Beyond that, none of the three are on any medication. The doctors were doing their rounds when we were there last night and they said that our trio were doing well and just basically feeding and growing. We can't ask for more than that.
Bill and I even stopped for dinner on the way home. We couldn't remember the last time we had done this but it was before bed rest started so at least nine to ten weeks. It was a very nice evening.
We have received a lot of feedback about this site and we are so happy that everyone is reading and enjoying it. More video coming soon.

Hi Nic & Bill,
So glad you had a nice evening out as a couple. Get those dates in while you still can! Nic, I talked to your Mom today and she filled me in on all the crib shopping! What a hoot. Nothing like a determined grandmother!!
Loved the photos of you and Bill holding your babies. Looking good!
We'll continue to check in on you all. And we're thinking of you often. Say Hi to Heather for us!
