visiting the twins at home

I went to John and Kim last thursday to visit my adorable niece and nephew! Had a great time holding, changing, and feeding them. My girls are so excited for the day they get to go see them too!

Kate sleep the whole time!

Colton was wide awake for me!

They are finally home!

The twins are both home!!! I am so happy for Kim, John, Kate, and Colt! I hope to see them this week and get some pics on here to share!

As far as my family, My little Lexi turned 5! WoW ! We had her party today, and there was lots of good food, friends, and family! My niece Jessica, brought her horse and gave all the kids a ride! The theme was horse/cowgirl, and Lexi has talked about this party since her last birthday. She had so much fun, and after a long day of fun a tired little girl while brushing her teeth tonight looked at me and said "Jessica can bring Jet(her horse) to my another birthday next time? right? Mom?" Happy Birthday Alexis Kalynn!

update Sept 19th

I talked to John this morning. Kate was suppose to be released today, but she stopped breathing last night, they call it a (brady) so she is in there for 5 more days, hopefully no more brady's! She is weighing 5 lbs, and Colton is right behind her at 4 lbs 14 oz. They are talking about releasing Colton on Friday, so maybe the babies will get to leave together!

My oldest sister Danna got to go see the twins today and change their diapers. They are doing really good gaining weight and just getting stronger! So here is Kate on the left and Colt on the right.

update

I talked to Kim today and she said the twins are going wonderfully! Kate is weighing 4 lbs 1 oz and Colton is right behind her at 3lbs 14 oz. Jen and I will be going tomorrow and will get some new pics.

working on the twins room

So today Mom, Jennifer, and I worked on Kate and Cole's bedroom. Yvonne and Charles brought over the second baby bed and the changing table. I put up the baby bed. Jennifer and I hung the boy and girl john deere plates, and their names we found at Canton and had personalized for them. Jennifer brought her John Deere glass lamp and it looks great in the room. My mom is making the curtains 2 are up and 2 to go. We cleared out the dresser and started putting away baby clothes. The room is going to be adorable and hopefully ready when they get to come home.

update

Good Morning everyone! Sorry I have not updated for a couple of days. We were out of town this weekend. I talked to John last night, and he said the twins are doing good. They are out of their incubators now, and they are gaining a little weight everyday. Katherine has started to nurse some, but is taking a bottle too. John said he changed 5 diapers yesterday and 4 were dirty. I had to laugh, but he said it wasn't funny! But I think it is!! The family has been moved out of nicu, first to a very small room which was for one baby, but now they have a bigger room. Hopefully, the next move will be to their home.
