A SPECIAL DAY & A TWINS UPDATE!!!

Well its been about a week since my last update. 
First and most importantly today is the love of my life's Birthday. We love you so much Aaron and I am so blessed to have you as a husband and Kenadi and Kellan to have you as a father.  I just thought I would also throw out there that for exactly 1 week you are the old one in our family!! HAHAHA
I LOVE YOU BABE!!

 Aaron and I took our kids to Abby and Lily's last soccer games on Saturday.

Here is Lily at her game.

Lily got her soccer trophy Saturday and those pictures are coming tonight!

Then we headed home to Wenatchee.  We were excited to sleep in our own beds that's for sure!! It was really nice to see the family too, I know the aunts and uncles sure were happy to have Kenadi and Kellan home.  We spent Saturday evening with them.  Then we went to our ward on Sunday, Kenadi actually went to nursery, YEAH!!  I got the opportunity to hear a wonderful Visiting Teaching Conference Sunday afternoon.  I love hearing stories about how many women's lives have been touched by such a simple task such as Visit Teaching them.  I'm so blessed to be in a new ward where I will get to know wonderful new women and get to know my new companion! 

We decided we missed Spokane so much that we would just come back. :)

So last night we drove back over here and are now enjoying our time with our nieces and nephews again.  I got the opportunity to take Pam to the hospital this morning and go see Pfischer and Phoebe.  They are just so amazing I know I say that a lot but they really are.  Pfischer was taken off his IV on Saturday, because he had reached full feeds (which for him was 36mLs) and stayed at full feeds for 3 days. He is now taking 42mLs and is will be getting 24 calories as of tomorrow to help with his weight gain.  He was still under the Bili Lite until yesterday, they seem to think he has made it thru the up and down pattern most preemies go thru with Billiruben problems so they are hopeful he is off for good.  They will still check it regularly.  He is now back up to his birth weight, 4lbs 9oz.

Mister Pfischer couldn't decide which he wanted more, his thumb or his pacifier.

Little Miss Phoebe.

She is such a little fighter, she has gone from 1mL in my last update to being on full feeds today. (which for her is 43mLs, because she weighs more than Pfischer) She is also getting calories to help her gain weight but is only getting 20 right now. As of this morning they turned her IV off because she reached full feeds, about 12:30 the doctor came in and said that she didn't need the IV at all anymore, YEAH PHOEBE!!! She has been off the Bili Lite since my last update, they are also watching her Billiruben regularly.  She is also a champ with her weight she is now over her birth weight, weighing in this morning at 4lbs 11oz.

This was before they took her IV out.  I love that little smile.

Babies, Babies, Babies!!!

Things have been crazy crazy crazy around here, but I wouldn't change it for the world.  It has been so much fun spending time with the girls and Ricky yesterday we got to take Lily to soccer practice it was so fun to watch her she is super competitive.  Today we took Abby to soccer practice and it was so cold and so rainy. Only 3 girls showed up but they had a blast it was so cute to watch them. Since they are only 4ish they aren't as competitive, they just play to have fun.  Both girls have soccer games on Saturday it will be super cold but so much fun to watch them.  Hopefully we will be able to go see Phoebe and Pfischer now that they are doing better.  Then we should be heading home, it will be nice to be home and have the kids in their own beds and get them back on a schedules but we will definitely miss being here with Mitch, Pam and the kids. 

Pfischer did do something awesome today...he ate from the bottle!!
GO PFISCHER!!!

Phoebe is doing well too she is still on mostly IV fluids but today she was able to start having a very tiny amount of milk like 1cc.

Here are some new pictures!

Phoebe is so sweet. Unfortunately she has the IV in her poor little head this time its so sad to see but she is such a little fighter.  They will be able to take it out when she gets to full feeds, which is about 36mLs.

She also got to come out from under the Bili Lite today so they got to dress her...Isn't she the cutest?

Mitch came to see the babies after work...I guess Phoebe was just as tired as Daddy!

Sleeping little angel!!

She decided to wake up and look at Daddy.

Mitch got to be there today to help feed her.

Here is the newest man in my life, isn't he the most handsome little man you have ever seen?

I think he really likes that hand :) isn't he beautiful!

Pam got to feed him with the bottle this morning for the first time...can you tell she's in love with her new little man?

I think he likes it!!!

Mitch got to feed Pfischer when he got to the hospital after work.

He seems to enjoy it just as much the 2nd time!!

Any man can be a father.  It takes someone special to be a Dad.

Fun in Spokane

We are still here enjoying our time in Spokane with the kids. Kenadi and Kellan are loving having sleepovers at their cousins house. lol

 Now for a Twins Update

Pfischer is doing well he is holding his weight and his food down. Daddy is holding him right now. :}

Phoebe is having a few little set backs...her billiruben is climbing and not going down, and she is having trouble digesting so she is skipping every other meal and staying under a new Bili Lite. Hopefully she will be on the up and up soon so mommy and daddy can snuggle her again.

They are such little miracles, we are so blessed to have them.

Last night we got to go to Lily's elementary school
Halloween Party it was fun.  Lily was Cinderella, Abby was Belle, Ricky was a skunk (and a mighty cute one at that :}) and my sweet Kellan didn't get to wear his monkey costume but luckily Aunt Pam had a spare lion suit, so my sweet boy was the cutest lion you have ever seen. :}

Today has been fun so far we got to go watch Abby play soccer this morning . They are the Blue Dolphins and they are so cute to watch. I took a few pictures of course since mommy couldn't come.

So here they are...

Then tonight we get to go to the church trunk or treat and see the kids in their cute costumes again :) I will take pictures this time.

I guess this is all for now I will post new pictures of the twins soon :)
