Kendall Chayse Diesel
It has been a little while since I have made a new blog. I have been busy with my little boys and I wouldn't have it any other way. My boys are the world to me! I have had many tears lately, but they are tears of happiness. I am blessed with two healthy baby boys that were just born a little early. I thank God every single day that my boys are here and healthy. They have wonderful nurses and doctors looking over them. Kendall and Keaton are doing great. The boys only have their feeding tubes and we will try to start bottle feeding next week, because they will be thirty-four weeks on Sunday. The boys need to be thirty-four weeks to do this, because they should now be able to remember to breathe, suck on the bottle, and swallow all at the same time. They are getting so big already. Andrew and I change the boy's diapers, hold them, take their temp., give them a bath, and tell them how much we love them!
Andrew and I have noticed just how big they are getting. Keaton and Kendall have been lifting up their heads when laying on their stomachs, grabbing things with a pretty tight grip, using their lungs to cry a little more :) and keeping their eyes open for a longer period of time. The boys have gained some weight as well. Kendall now weighs 4lbs 3.2 oz and Keaton weighs 4lbs 4.0 oz and they are both 18 inches long. Both boys are eating 37 ml of breast milk.....we will see how long mommy can keep up with these growing boys. Keaton loves his pacifier and has been crying a little more when it is time to eat...the nurse said this is a good thing.....it breaks my heart to hear them cry. I know they are fine when they are crying.....it gives me tears in my eyes.....it reminds me of the very first time I heard them cry when they were born. The boys are wearing clothes now and look so adorable in them. We got our first family picture of the four of us. It was taken on the nurses camera. I can't believe they are two weeks old already. They are just precious and doing so well! Now that Kendall has his oxygen off.......the boys are def. identical. It will be a challenge for us to tell them apart. I can only imagine all the tricks they will try to pull with us. :)
I am now staying in the Legg Hotel (Ryan and Holly Legg's house). My stay here this week has been wonderful. I am so thankful that they have taken me in. It has been so nice to catch up with Holly....it reminds me of when we were younger and had sleepovers all the time. She is a wonderful mom to Payton and I hope to be half as good to my boys. I will never to be able to repay them for all they have done by taking me in. A huge thank you to Holly, Ryan and baby Payton!
Andrew has been working right now while he can. He drives over every single evening to see the boys. He sure is one proud dad! He is going to be amazing with them. Once we all get to come home, I think he will take some time away from work and spend at home with us. I can't wait for us to all be home together. I have so many emotions right now. I cry happy tears because we are blessed with two amazing little boys, and I cry sad tears because I just want us all together under one roof. It has been a roller coaster ride for a while now, but will all be worth it in the end. Once again, I am very blessed to have these little boys and to have them here and healthy.
I came home on Tuesday afternoon to watch the CMS softball team win regionals! It was so good to see the girls and especially see a win! I am very proud of the girls.....good luck at state on Saturday!
