Kangaroo times 2!!!

Wow! I can't believe it has been 3-weeks! Three-weeks since God, in His perfect timing, blessed us with 2 tiny miracles! Three-weeks since He revealed Himself through 2-heartbeats and 4-pounds of flesh & blood. It has been a very long 3-weeks full of ups and downs. I have experienced more life in the last 3-weeks than I have in the last 3-years! What an amazing 3-weeks it has been. I would not trade it for all the money in the world or 10 "normal/perfect/healthy" babies. Three weeks ago, God said, "Landon, Jennifer, I have chosen you 2 to go through this because you can handle it". So as I blog tonight, I thank God for the last 3-weeks.

Jen got a pretty nice 3-week suprise tonight. She got to kangaroo hold Kaylan for the very 1st time; for 2-hours. This sort of came as a suprise as we showed up at the hospital tonight. Also, she got to hold Dylan for 2-hours this afternoon. What an incredibly proud mom! Getting to spend 4-hours holding both of her babies in one day. It says in the Psalms (56) that tears are liquid prayers. Well, I guess God heard Jen's liquid prayers over the last week and let her enjoy her motherly nature by getting to hold both babies in one day.

As for an update, I guess we can say that today was a little better than yesterday. Dylan's blood transfusion went well, but they have to ease him back into his feeds very slowly. His IV fell out of his head and he had to be poked 7-times before they could get it going in his leg. Poor guy! I do think he is enjoying his new outfits though, because today he passed the 3 and a half pound mark!

Kaylan is still a pound and a half. She is almost ready to have her PICC line removed because of how well she is tolerating her increased feeds. It should come out within the next week. That is awesome because we were led to believe it would stay in for a very long time. She was as fiesty and active as ever tonight. It is incredible how vibrant she is. I already feel sorry for Dylan because sassy little sister has made it known that she will be vying for all the attention.

We will continue to ride this journey like my 401k in the stock market. Good days and bad days. Gains and Losses. But unlike the stock market, our "bailout" comes from a power much greater than the fed. Here is to 3-weeks!
