Our Little Boys is Getting Bigger







Our precious boy is 4 lbs 1 oz. He is still in the NICU on Oxygen 2L Nasal Cannula. He has the feeding tube in. Still needs to learn to coordinate breathing and eating at the same time. He enjoys hearing mom's voice and listening to Dr. Seuss and Baby Einstein. He loves shooting poop at Mom every time she changes his diaper. :)

Thank You

Thank you everyone for your prayers, cards, flowers, and love. We are so eternally thankful for all your support and love. Ava Marie will always have a special place in our heart; just in the little time we had with her, she touched so many.

Adam is getting bigger and stronger everyday. He is quite the flirt with all the nurses. He now weighs 3lbs 5 oz. He still has the feeding tube and he is on a nasal cannula 1-2 L, the lowest setting before you are off oxygen. When Mommy visits his oxygen saturation goes up to 98%. Adam loves to eat, every 3 hours he knows it is feeding time and starts to get upset and squirm until his tummy is full of food.

Ava is Dancing with JESUS

Our precious little girl, Ava Marie, is in Heaven dancing with Jesus.
We are thankful that Jesus allowed us to spend 6 weeks with her. She was and will always be our beautiful angel and gift from God.

Happy Thanksgiving!

The Babies had their first Thanksgiving. They slept the day away in their incubators. It was just another day for them to hear Mommy and Daddy's voice.
Mom, Dad, Tara, and Dan visited Adam and Ava before heading out to Grandma Georgia and Grandpa Dean's house.
Adam was resting on his back enjoying his formula every 6 hours. Just like his Daddy; enjoys each meal.
Ava was resting on her belly. This is her favorite position. It's either the front or the back, no sides or in between. She knows what she likes. She takes after the Hoffman girls ;).
Thank you for all your prayers. We are thankful for all our family and friends surrounded around us.

Each Day With The Babies Is A Blessing

The munchins are gaining weight.
*Ava is currently 3 lbs 6oz. They changed Ava's formula so it will be easier on her kidneys. The neurologist will see Ava again tomorrow.
*Adam is 2 lbs 6 oz.
They are both on the same setting of oxygen as last week.

Ava:
She made it to 2 lbs 8 oz. She is feeding every 3 hours 18 ml. Her oxygen setting is at 49% on the ventilator. She enjoys being on her belly. They turned off the bili-lights, no more tanning in the light. Yesterday they removed more fluid from her head. But, her head is not getting any bigger which is great news.

Adam:
He is now 1 lb 11 oz. He is eating every 3 hours 16 ml. He really enjoys being placed on his tummy. They removed his endotracheal tube and placed him on a Nasal Cannula. He was on the Nasal Cannula for about 4-5 hours then they placed another endotracheal tube. He wasn't quite ready to move up that fast. He has daddy's little lips :).
