Another Good Day!!

Yesterday was another good day in the NICU. I know for us it is hard to imagine having back to back good days, but yesterday we had just that - two good days in a row! Jenn had shared a couple specific prayers with me that she has been praying in the middle of the night during her milk runs. One of those prayers was for Dylan to come off CPAP this week...answered. Another prayer was for Kaylan to have her PICC line removed...answered. Yep, that is right, as of yesterday, she is IV free and getting all her nutrients through milk.

Another big step for Kaylan is she graduated diapers yesterday. I know that doesn't sound like much of an accomplishment, but for her, it is huge. She had been wearing a "diaper" (if you want to call it that-it was actually a cotton ball attached to a piece of tissue paper) called Wee-Pee. She is no longer in the smallest of the small Wee-Pee brand. She is still technically in the weight range to wear the Wee-Pee smalls, but due to her active digestive system, she had to move up to a bigger diaper. I am so proud of you baby-girl.

Kaylan also continues to gain weight at a consistent rate. She is now up to 1lb 9.8oz as of yesterday. Watch out 2lb mark! Kaylan is knocking on your door and I am pretty sure she is going to blow it down sometime next week. Dylan was back down to 3lb 7oz. He had better watch it. I think I will tell him the story of the tortoise and the hare today to give him some extra motivation. Other than that, he is loving his new found freedom from his CPAP mask. He is more alert than ever and last night, he even cracked a couple of smiles.

It is hard to believe that as of this weekend the twins will be a month old. The amazing thing is that under a "normal" pregnancy, they would still be in the womb. Thank God that nothing about this pregnancy has been "normal". We are so blessed to get to see what is supposed to take place in the womb, outside of it. I am always reminded that we still have a very long way to go, but I am also reminded that God's faithfulness is not tied to our faith. Praise Him for that!
