Well the babies are doing great! Getting bigger everyday. All three are now on CPAP which is great. That means they are having to breathe on their own, they are no longer on the ventillator which was a huge milestone for us! Yesterday was their two month birthday, and I never thought I would say this, but it has gone by pretty fast. I can't believe we've had them here for over 8 weeks! They have some great nurses which helps us out a lot! :)
Okay, well Jaxon is now 4 lbs. 2 oz. Which means he gets to be in a crib now! He was starting to look so big in his isolette but now that he is in a crib he looks small again! :) He also gets to wear clothes now, it's soooo cute! And he gets to be swaddled in the blankets and he loves it! Our little burrito! Jaxon has been on CPAP since January 1st, so I'm anxious for him to get off it. We haven't really got to see his face without something on it since then, and I'm sure a lot has changed in 28 days!
Gavin is now 3 lbs. 4 oz. He is doing great on CPAP! Which makes us soooo happy. He's given us the most "trouble" so it's nice to see him doing good off the ventillator. He doesn't seem to mind the CPAP too much. I'm sure it feels much better than being rattled all the time by the oscillator from the vent. We also got to hold him for the first time this weekend. He was always so tempramental so we were never able to hold him. So finally after 8 1/2 weeks, we were able to hold him, and he loved everyminute of it (so did we) if I do say so myself! :)
And Jacee is now 3 lbs. 15 oz. She also gets to be in a crib and wear clothes now. So cute!!! Usually when they are 4 lbs. they get to be in a crib, and she is close enough and can maintain her body temperature so she got put in one yesterday. Yay!!! She doesn't care for the CPAP. She tries to rip it off every chance she gets! But I thinks she's starting to get used to it now. :)
And Dax went on a fieldtrip last week with his preschool. They went to the Union Station. He had lots of fun!!!

Hi Brooke! This is Tina- I don't know if you know or remember me, we both dated Tyson :( Anyways it's kind of crazy I found your blog I was bored and just went from my friend Katie's blog to Joni's blog to I guess it's your sisters? I just want to say Congratulations! I hope the babies continue getting bigger and stronger and will be able to go home soon.
Brooke: I don't know if you remember me, I was one of Nicole's friends, but I stumbled across your blog and just wanted to say I am glad your babies are doing well. I hope all continues to go well with them.
Hey Aaron and Brooke, Dax, Jaxon, Jacee and Gavin,
WOW!!! Dennis and I have been watching the babies grow online - between Brian and Amber's Blogger and now yours we have really enjoyed and most of all - these babies are 3 Beautiful Miracles. Please know that all of you are in our prayers and we love you.
