Now 3 Months - Brynn

Were 3 months old, can't you tell we are excited.

Its hard to imagine that our girls our 3 months old today. Kristin and I have been so blessed to have two healthy baby girls. It seems so long ago that the girls were born and we spent so much time in the NICU. I can hardly remember that they were so small when they were born, compared to how they look now. Both girls have pretty much doubled their weight and it is a little weird since they are the size of most newborn babies.

It is so great to see them start to smile at us and just be so much more alert. It is so exciting to see all the new things that they learn and how they continue to adjust to their new surroundings.

Yesterday, was fun to watch Hailey for a little bit. We let her have a little tummy time and the next thing I knew, she had rolled to her back. I tried to have her do it again but then she got a little upset. We tried it again today and she didn't let us down but she made sure she was only going to do it once.

We are so amazed at all the progress they are making and are so thankful that God has blessed us so much with such a wonderful family.

All home and doing well

The weather was nice so Mom and Dad took us for our first walk.

Brynn sleeping so nicely

I finally gave in to all the requests. This is my first blog experience but I have had so many people request updates on our girls. I would use the carepage that we had set up but since we finally made it out of the NICU, I figured we could start fresh.

Kristin and I have been married 5 years and this past December we were blessed with an early Christmas present. Hailey and Brynn were born on Dec 24 and they decided to come just a few weeks earlier than expected. Both girls spent 9 1/2 weeks in the NICU at Blank Children's Hospital and now they have been home for almost 3 weeks now. We love having them home with us but I will say we got a lot more sleep when they were in the hospital. Thank you nurses for working the night shift so we could go home and get some rest. I knew people said to rest up before they came but I had no idea. If its 3 in the afternoon or 3 in the morning, we love having this time with the girls, no matter how tired we are.

The girls had their first check up on March 9 and both girls got good reports back. Hailey weighed 7 lbs 12 oz and Brynn was 8 lbs 14 oz. It was nice to get the first appointment out of the way and get feedback on how the girls were doing. Its been quite an adjustment with the girls at home but we are figuring out how to manage all the schedules.

My goal is to keep this updated as much as possible but free time might be used more for sleeping.
