3 Days Old / NICU Pictures

Thanks to everyone for your prayers, phone calls, and e-mails. We are so blessed to have such a wonderful circle of friends and family surrounding us! We are so sorry if we have not been able to reach everyone that has called. We are spending a lot of time with the babies making sure they are growing strong!

Dakota and Jaxson are doing very well. They are getting mommy's milk right now through feeding tubes and bottles. Dakota has actually taken all of her milk on her own the past 24 hrs! Jaxson is hit or miss and will take a feeding through his tube a couple times a day. He actually is following in the exact footsteps of his big brother Tyson ... seems like just yesterday we were doing the same thing with him.

They have frightened us a few times with what they call "breathing episodes." They forget to take a breath but with a little stimulation they pick back up. So far no ventilators and no breathing episodes in the past 12 hrs.



Our precious Jaxson!

Our beautiful little girl!

We love them so much! They complete the perfect family for us!
