3 weeks old





We can't believe its been 3 weeks since Bennett and Brooklyn were born. We are feeling so blessed to be able to continue to share our testimony with so many people. Every time we engage with a new nurse or doctor about our situation they are astounded by the outcome and can't believe its possible that the pregnancy continued so long and are even more shocked that Bennett survived. We are continually reminded what an incredible miracle this is and thank God for each and every day. Bennett is doing really well today. He is needing more help with his breathing again, which is ok and expected with all the other ways he is using his energy. Ali got to feed him a bottle yesterday, it was his 2nd one. He did such a good job, but tired out quickly. It is early for him to even be starting to try so this reaction was normal with everything he has going on. Brooklyn is likely coming home early next week, which is way ahead of schedule- we are very excited. She is still working on getting all of her feeds down with having any dips in her heart rate. She also needs to pass the car seat test, which she failed last week when we thought she might be coming home early this week. We just can't thank everyone enough for your care and concern. We are faithful that we will have both our babies home soon and can't wait to all be together.
