Apnea Monitors Gone...maybe!!!

Hello!  I hope that everyone is doing well.  I am not sure how many people still take the time to check the blog but, I thought that I would update after the twins last appointment at the apnea clinic.  The girls have been doing very well and are growing like weeds!  At the appointment Brooklyn was 13# 3oz. and 23 1/4 inches long.  Brienna was 12# 12oz. and 22 1/4 inches long.  They are definitely growing and evidently Brooklyn is growing faster than Brienna!!  I am a little sad because this weekend I have to pack up the 0-3 month clothes and take out the 3-6 month clothes.  If anyone know anybody expecting twin girls let me know!  I have twin clothes to get rid of! :)  The PA downloaded the monitors and will be getting back to us with the results the middle of next week.  IF the girls have had no spells over the last couple of months we will be able to get rid of the monitors!!!  I am so excited and looking forward to the twins being wireless FINALLY! 
I hope that everyone enjoys the weekend and I will update when we hear back from the apnea clinic!
Take care.

FOUR months old!!!

It is hard to believe that the twins are now four months old.  We went in for their four month doctor appointment last Thursday and the girls are almost triple their birth weight!  Both girls are the same weight and the same length, but then I guess they are identical twins!  They were 12 pounds 5 ounces and are 22 inches long.  They are now at the 25% for the regular four months old babies for weight but have not made it on the chart for length yet.  Hopefully that will come with time.  The twins also got their four month shots and are otherwise doing very well.  And for that we are very thankful.
Brooklyn and Brienna also got a new baby cousin this weekend!  Colby Jay was born at 5:42 on Saturday, April 17.  He is doing well and so is his mom!  Congrats to Eric, Jessica, Natalie and Elliot on thier new baby brother!
But I am reminded that just as god brings these little miracles into our lives he also needs more angels to watch over us.  Julie, Kurt and Cameron now have another angel watching over them.  Caden Leslie Loe got his angel wings on Sunday night.  Please say a prayer for the Loe Family that god may surround them with his love in the days and weeks ahead and that he wraps Caden in his arms holding him safe and free from all pain.  Here is the link to their Caring Bridge site:  http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/cadenloe
