Staying Busy

We have seemed to slack off a little with our blog. We apologize to all who read it. We are trying to do better. It has been so busy with our girls here at home that we find little time to do much. We continue to work with Haley and Rachel as they continue to grow. We try to do all the suggested therapy the occupational and physical therapist tell us to do. We are so thrilled with the progress they both seem to be making. We know the road ahead will be long with regards to their development, but we will do all within our power to help them along. We thank the good Lord each day for our daughters. They are such precious little girls to mommy and daddy. We love to hold them, play with them, and kiss all over them. We know that they are suppose to be here for a reason and purpose. We are so eternally grateful that God saw fit to keep them here with us. We enjoy them more than words can express. They keep us on our toes that is for sure. They both seem to have doctor's appointments on average two to three times a week. Its not always fun to go see all these doctor's, but we will do whatever it takes to make sure our girls stay healthy and continue to progress. We are especially looking forward to an appointment this coming Friday for Rachel. She will be having a 4 hour test called an OCRG to test if she can come off the oxygen. We really hope she will be able to. With time we are seeing the girls get better and stronger. We are just amazed everyday how well they are doing seeing how early they were born. They are true miracles and we love them so very much.

Rachel and Haley both napping at the same time. I love it when that happens which is not that often.



Rachel loves playing with her play gym

  1. Sweet, sweet babes. We love the updates; and it's so important for when the girls are older to know what it was like when they were small. Persevere!! :)

  5. The girls look great! Don't worry about updates. We certainly love to read them but the babies are your first priority, then mommy and daddy come next.

  7. Carter had to have 2 OCGR studies. Make sure you take a sweater--that room is cold! For our visits, my mom was here once and Dan took a half day the other time. If you need help with Haley while Rachel is at the doctor's, you'd better call me! I would be happy to watch her.

  12. I remember those days of having 2 to 3 doctors appointments a week and being so glad when I could just have a day to stay home and not have to go somewhere. But like you I would do anything for my kids.

    Having twins..I understand how wonderful and rare it is when they both sleep at the same time :) That picture was so cute of them sleeping.

    The girls looks great and they are so beautiful!! I hope all goes well with Rachel!!

    By the way I LOVE the new background!!!
