Update on the boys...

Just an update on the boys... we are all doing really well... tired needless to say but doing well. The boys feed about every 3-4 hours around the clock. It is amazing to see their personalities already coming through!

Alex.. he is SO layed back... we literally have to wake him up to feed him. He loves to sleep and he LOVES to be wrapped in the warmest blanket that we have.. he shivers because he is always cold. He is a sqeaky boy.. always making sqeaky noises... he can be wide awake looking around for a whole hour.. very alert!

Ian on the other hand.. is always hot and would prefer to be without a warm blanket. He reminds us of Brevin as a baby.. a little more on the fussy side. He loves to eat and is always first to be up to be fed. He is not a sleeper (at night) and he tends to be the one that like to keep Mom and Dad up at night.... he LOVES to be held and loves to sleep in his boppy pillow.

They are both doing so well and they both eat really well also... my milk had finally come in but they just don't want to nurse... they get SO upset when I try and it just breaks my heart so for now I am just pumping and giving them the milk with bottles but I am just so happy that I am able to pump and keep up with their feedings!!

Big brother Brevin is doing so well with the boys... he is a little leary with holding them.. he says he likes to hold the squeaky one (Alex)... Ian moves around a lot so he would just prefer feeding him the bottle while I hold him. He loves his brothers and does so well with them.

Wednesday we have an ultrasound appointment in Ann Arbor with Alex on his kidney so we are hoping that it goes well and whatever problem that Alex had has already corrected itself... I will post an update after we find out the results. We have another pediatrician appointment this Friday afternoon.. I am so anxious to see how the boys are growing!!!

So that is the update for now... I just want to say thank you to all those that have called and sent cards.. gifts.. and for all the yummy meals and treats - we are so blessed to have such good friends and family that check in on us all the time... thank you so much!!

Here are a few recent pictures of the boys!!
