Happy 2 Months Keaton and Kendall

I can't believe our two precious baby boys are two months old today. We are so very proud of them. Today also marks 40 weeks gestation for the boys. They have put up a strong fight and have won! We have noticed that they are starting to stay awake for longer periods of time and are eating much more. They are very happy boys! This week the boys will be getting shots.....ouch! This makes me nervous as a mom because I don't know how they are going to react to them. I sure hope they do ok.

Keaton and Kendall: We want you to know that you are loved by so many. We are so blessed to have you two. You two are strong little boys and daddy and I think you will grow up to do some pretty amazing things. We are so proud of you guys......you bring so much joy to our lives every single day. We will love you for always and like you forever, as long as you are living our precious babies you will be. Love you boys!

Welcome Home Keaton and Kendall

We made it.........HOME!!!! We all got to come home on October 27, 2011 and could't be any more excited about it. They are doing great!!! We are adjusting to being home and not in the NICU. We don't have around the clock nurses at home.......so we are a little tired but wouldn't change it for the world.

It was a little emotional leaving the NICU at St. Mary's. This was all we had known for the past 15/16 weeks. Hopefully the only time we go back to St. Mary's it will be just to visit and show everyone how big the boys have got. We would like to send out a huge thanks to all who prayed for us.....the power of prayer works and we are living proof of it. Keaton and Kendall are two healthy boys with two very proud parents. Keaton and Kendall have met several people since being at home. They have adjusted well and sleep most of the time and just get up when time to eat.

We had our first doctor appointment with Dr. Jones. He is so good with them. Keaton tipped the scale at 7 lbs 1oz and Kendall weighed in at 6 lbs 12oz. They are eating really well and getting bigger and bigger each day. Dr. Jones said they are perfect!

A huge thanks to all who attended and had part in the amazing Eric Carle shower for the boys at Geff Christian Church. What amazing friends, family, and church family we have. We are so blessed!

We have been to a couple different places since we have been home.......my parents, our first Dr. visit, and to church. Here are several different pictures of us coming home and being at home.
