My moment

This past week has been great! The babies are doing excellent, and are continuing to grow! All of the girls are 4 lbs -4lbs 11oz now! Little Karson is still .....little Karson =) He's growing too though, and is now  3 lbs 11oz! I am so in love with these little people! They were all Ok'd to attempt breastfeeding last week. We've been working on it! Paisley got a "gold star" on day 1 for eating like a champ, but has since backed off. Presley has not got a clue of what/how to nurse! Karson is excellent. That little guy really surprised everyone!! And Hensley is the BEST of them all! ( she told me she is Baby "A" for a reason ;) Yesterday I got to have a "moment". It was so special. My 4 babies and I were reunited! I got to hold all 4 of them at one time!

Almost 3 weeks!!

Somehow, my precious babies are now almost 3 weeks old! I don't know where the time went! Seems like I just had them yesterday! It could be my exhaustion tricking me though! I've gotten questions like, "How are you exhausted if you don't even have babies home to take care of?"..ANSWER: I wake up to pump every 3 hours througout the night! AND, I go go go non stop daily to get Keaton to school, and get myself to the hospital! Im one busy momma!

The babies are doing really well. 3 of them are still out in open air cribs, and are beginning to try and bottle feed some. Tiny Karson, however, is back in the warmer. He was struggling to maintain his body temp and stats, so they decided it'd be best for him to be in there.

Have I mentioned how blessed i feel to be the mommy to my 6 awesome kids!?!? GOD IS GOOD!

Whew!

The last two weeks have flown by for me!! The quads are here! They decided to not wait until their scheduled Csection to arrive though =) March 23, I went into labor on my own, and delivered my 3 girls and 1 boy via Csection at 12:27, 12:28, 12:30, and 12:31 pm. They attempted to stop my laboring with the dreaded Magnesium Sulfate, aka: the Death Drug! Obviously, it was not effective! The babies were all born relatively healthy, and perfect! Hensley came first, and then Karson, Paisley, and Presley followed. They ranged from 2 lb11 oz to 3 lbs 8 oz. Karson (my growth restricted baby), was obviously smaller than his sisters! That little guy has been a fighter though!

The babies have all been graduated to the Level II NICU now, and are classified as "feeders and growers". They are doing so so well, and we couldn't be more pleased! We are both completely in love with these tiny people that God blessed us with.
