We are 3 weeks old today!

 We are 3 weeks old today, mommy and daddy couldn't be more proud.  

 Chase Michael 

 3 weeks old: 1 pound 10 ounces 

 Chase has had a pretty rough past couple of weeks but things are starting to settle out a bit which means its about time things get stirred up again. Last week at this time Chase was depending on the ventilators at about 75-90% oxygen. Today, he is down to about 40-55% which the doctors are going to take advantage of and have scheduled surgery for tomorrow morning, November 15th. The surgeon is going to repair Chase's intestinal obstruction and the hole in his intestinal lining. 

 Chase sucking his fingers....look how light his hair is getting! 

 An update on Chase will be posted as soon as we can. Please keep him and the surgeon in your thoughts and prayers tomorrow. 

 Conner James 

 3 weeks old: 1 pound 15 ounces 

 Conner is super close to breaking the 2 pound markers but has decided that he does not enjoy getting chipped when the doctor feel it's time for him to poop. He has now decided to control that himself and go every chance he can. The doctor informed us that we have a poopin' professional on our hands and it's just another joy Conner's poor nurses get to enjoy. Conner is keeping up with his usual stunts removing random monitors and his eye cover. 

 Conner is now on what they call continuous feeds which means breast milk is constantly being fed through his feeding tube. He went from 1 ml every 12 hours in the beginning to getting 2.5 ml every hour. He should be breaking that 2 pound marker very soon. 

 This is Morgan, the boys' big sister. She has been smelling the blankets we bring home from the NICU and carries them around. She's been staring at me while I was updating ya'll so I figured I would show you the boys' supportive big sister as well. She's resting now because she knows soon two little boys will be all over her.  

 Please keep our little guys in your prayers and thanks again for all the support :)
