Our identical lil' punkin's












Hailey is off of her IV so she got to come over and say hi to her identical sister for a while today. Emily just ate so she was tired....but they got along great! :)

Today, Hailey developed a heart murmur out of the blue. Hopefully it will close up again as this is the first time she's had one!
The girls are still not gaining weight...so the drs. keep trying new things. Hopefully one of these days they will start to gain!!! I breastfed Addison and Hailey this morning and Addison had 8 cc's which is AWESOME and Hailey had 2 cc's which is GREAT cuz that's the first time she figured out swallowing! Woo-hoo! :) We'll see how Emily does tonight.
Two of my friends just had baby boys this week - a 5 lb 12 ouncer and a 9 lb 7 ouncer!!!! They looked like TODDLERS compared to our girls! Ryan and I cannot believe the difference a couple pounds can make.... So far, our girls have ALLLL BOYS in their class. At least they'll have some options for Homecoming dates. :)

Hi Shelly and Ryan,
I just had to comment about these photos because it made me laugh right out loud. Soooo cute and so funny with their little pumpkin hats on. They are 3 little sweethearts. I can't wait until they come home for good. Love, Grandma Kathy (is that what you want them to call me?)

I'm jealous of leah! Shell, those girls are going to eat and we will continue to pray for them. the big guy is providing the milk and they will eat it up!!! Keep trusting in the Lord.

Shelly & Ryan,
My mom gave me the site to see your beautiful baby girls. Congratulations!!! The pumpkin hats are adorable. My advice as a new mommy; they say to treasure the moments when their newborns because it flies so fast. Around 3-4 months, you think it really can't fly by that quickly, but then it seriously does. My son, RJ, is almost one already, and it really came that quickly. I'm so happy for you, and I wish you the best. I look forward to seeing more pictures of the girly girls. :)

Hi Ryan & Shelly,
First off, CONGRATULATIONS! We sooo wish we could be there to see your three sweet girls in person:( I want you to know that your blog gets checked quite a few times a day, and this one has got to be one of my favorites. I love where Hailey is looking over at Emily...and they're so adorable in their hats :) We would love to just hop in the car and come see all of you, but it seems every weekend is full. Hopefully after the wedding when your girls are home. Give Addison, Hailey & Emily kisses from us! Love, Deb
