Grateful

2 Hours Old

2 Weeks Old


Two Years Old
I really just want to express my gratitude to my Heavenly Father for these two precious little girls. They had a pretty rough start, being 10 weeks early and weighing 3 lbs 3 oz (Katelyn) and 2 lbs 9 oz. (Kylie). They have really been strong girls from the start and Troy and I are so GRATEFUL that they have developed properly and that they haven't had any serious effects from being preemies. They are extremely smart and active little girls and we are so grateful for them in our home. They had a doctors appointment yesterday and for the first time since they were born, Kylie weighs more than her sister and she is a half inch taller! Kylie weighs 22 pounds and Katelyn weighs 21 1/2. Still pretty small for their age but the doctor was pleased with their growth, and so are we!

You have such Darling little girls! I'm glad that they are healthy and happy too! When you struggle with having your babies unhealthy it can be trying at times.
I thought it was crazy that Ben will be 3 in July and barely weighs 23 lbs. That's only because of his health problems.
I hope they had a fun Birthday and that cake is amazing! Great Job!

Carrie, I remember when I came to see them & they were 2 weeks I think. It was amazing to hold them. Thanks for sharing that experience with me.

I still remember when you finally got to bring them home and we got to hold them. I was so scared to hold them because they were so tiny! I love the 2 week old picture, that is so cute. I can't believe they're already 2! They look so big and grown up in the last picture. Hope we see you guys again soon.

I am so glad your girls are doing well. Being far away when they were born, I heard through the grape vine that they'd come early and there were some complications. I have been working in pediatrics at Mayo for the past two weeks and I have been thinking about you and the twins a lot as I have worked with the amazing pediatric dietitians, nurses and neonatologists here in the NICU. I can't imagine going through the stress and pain of seeing my own child(ren) struggling to survive day after day in the ICU. I have a lot of respect and admiration for you, Carrie!
love,
steph
