Ty's 3rd Birthday

We decided to have Ty's birthday the weekend the most people

would be in town to see the babies so that was 2 weeks after the

babies were born. So we did not go all out this year, but Ty did

not know or care. He had a blast with lots of Aunts and Uncles

and Grandparents. Kiki and her parents who have pretty much

adopted Ty as their grandchild were here also. 

We did a Cars themed party and Ty had a ball!!!

Dan cooked hamburgers for everyone and it was good!

Eating: 

They eat mom's milk every 3 hours during the day and we also were

waking them up in the night every 3 hours till our Doc said it

was ok to let them sleep a bit more. Around 3 weeks we did just that.

They go 4 hours between feeding at night and every once in a while

it might be a tad longer.  They are GREAT babies.  We are sooo

blessed to have 2 great babies. 

Jace eats 3 1/2 oz

AK eats 2 1/2 oz

right now I am pumping and feeding them with bottles so 

I know exactly how much they are getting. Once they 

both get a little bigger I will nurse.

I have tandem nursed and they did good, but seemed fussy

after, so I assume they did not get enough so thats why I am 

pumping for now.  It works and they are happy!!!

Sleeping:

Sleep all day long!  They eat and they sleep. 

Extras:

Jace seems to cry more... think he gets gas often :(

AK is a sleeper.

Jace has more awake time, but still not much.

Ty just adores his brother and sister

Both started grabbing my hair or burp cloth

First Month

Our first month was GREAT!  We had some hard

times b/c we had children in the NICU and one for 18 days.

Jace came home at 5 days and Addie Kate at 18 days.

She was about ready to come home when Jace did,

but caught a virus from another baby in the NICU.

It was hard to balance being at home with Jace and 

Ty and wanted to be with my baby girl at the hospital,

plus recovering from a C-section. 

Dan was working at a hospital that was attached to

AK's hospital so he went and dropped of milk each morning for her

and went to see her at his lunch break and after work.  I

went when he came home from work. It was also hard b/c for

a good while we could not hold her. She was not eating for 5 days

b/c of the virus so all we could do was look at her... I HATED it!!!!

It was hard knowing she was hungry and could not eat. 

We spent lots of time in the NICU

Had lots of visitors

Loved on THREE kids LOTS!

Thanked God for our blessing!!!

God is GOOD!

Ty LOVES his babies!!!
