Crazy Silly Faces

Two silly girls and the faces they can make!

 The End.

NICU Day 11

Camden you came out of the Isolette again. But because of a puking spell and the stress of your increased feeds, you were again put back in the warmer. This time they will slowly wean the temperature down inside. Camden you are 4lb 3oz.

Grey you are doing wonderfully. You lost a little weight in the beginning but now you continue to gain. You are 4lb 13oz.

NICU Day 10- The Day We All Came to Visit

Cailin was so excited to hold you! All day she was practicing and asking questions. Oh the anticipation!

 Me: Rylie what's the baby's name?
 Rylie: Person

 Rylie you were surprisingly gentle with the babies.

 Look at Rylie's latest smile. She closes her eyes and smiles really big when you say cheese.

NICU Day 9- Daddy Time

Daddy held you both for the first time!

NICU Day 8

Camden repeatedly had borderline temperatures, so he was placed back in the isolette. I was a little disappointed, because we've had a lot of good days so far. But I have to remember that NICU life is two steps forward and sometimes one step back.

Good news is Grey you remained in the open crib. You have done great so far. And now you both don't have your IV's any longer. One less connection!

 It works out for me to go to the hospital early in the morning. Your big sister wanted to see you all so bad that she got out of the bed at 5am so we could be at the hospital about 7. She sat and loved on you, Grey. She talked to you and didn't want to put you down. Everyone told me of stories where the older sibling wasn't thrilled that their parents were having more children. That has never been the case with Ariel. She loved you guys and counted down the days and weeks until you could come home.

NICU Day 7

We came into the NICU and found you both out into open cribs. We were so happy! Then we learned that your IV's will be discontinued tomorrow because you are almost up to full feeds. Progress! Progress! Progress!

NICU Day 5

You both are doing so well today. Camden needs no help breathing and is out from under the lights for jaundice. Grey was weaned off CPAP yesterday but is still jaundiced.

My Little 3yr Old

Rylie, I look at you and don't even see your little baby face so much anymore. I love your big toothy smile. I am constantly surprised at the things you say. One day I was yelling at you to get out of my room, because you get into my things if I'm not there to keep watch, and I could hear you in the hall say, "You so grumpy." Yesterday, you said "Mommy I'm sorry. Do you forgive me?" Today in your swimsuit you asked, "How do I look?" My favorite of your sayings that I hear most often, "Can you help me. I so little and you're so big." I could go on and on you funny girl. You know the alphabet. You play hide-and-seek and can count perfectly to 10. Although you don't like to count as much as you like to hide. You are just now fully potty trained and I have to say you more than make up for the ease of training your older sisters. You are a very picky eater, but you are willing to eat if dessert is on the menu. Especially if it's chocolate. No chocolate is safe in this house. You are even willing to climb to great heights to get it. You love your brothers. You are gentle with them and my alert if one is crying. You love your big sisters. You and Cailin will sleep in the same bed and you even want Ariel to sleep in your room too.  Your favorite website to play games is Sesame Street. You also like PBS too. You can sit quietly for hours playing games. I love that you laugh at the same things over and over. You always share it with everyone knowing they will laugh at it too.  You are a little naughty. Dad doesn't like you watching Bratz on the Kindle. You sneak to watch it and turn it off if he comes to your room. You sneak snacks from the kitchen if you are hungry and didn't eat your dinner. Dinner, by the way is probably the worst meal for you because I fix lots of vegetables and you are not a fan of them. You found that thumb when you were days old and I'm pretty sure you suck it 22 of the 24 hours in a day. That thumb is so soggy all the time that the nail doesn't grow and there's a bump on the knuckle. You are precocious, conscientious, and funny. We love you sweet Rylie.

NICU Day 3

Camden was taken off CPAP. You didn't need help breathing any longer.

 Then you both were jaundiced. So, under the bili lights you go!

NICU Day 2~ Kangaroo Time

Just Camden and I. We lay skin to skin. And I love it!

Grey had a little trouble breathing, so I had to hold off on holding you. But we still held hands.

P.S. Daddy didn't want to hold you both just yet, because you were so small and hooked up to lots of different monitors.
