Baby Update

I have been discharged from the hospital. I cant tell you how heart wrenching it is to leave the hospital and not be able to take your babies home. This has been and extremely hard couple of days but we are getting through it. Thankfully we are staying close to the hospital so I am able to spend all day and evening with the babies feeding them. They are doing well. Nicholas and Lainey have reached their birth weight and may possible go home this weekend. They have a few more obstacles to overcome, temperature mainly, and they can come home. Gabriel is doing well also however he is not eating as well as the others. He gets down his bottles but he is a little pokey about it therefore has not reached his birth weight yet. He is gaining weight though. A lot of it is mommy and daddy. We are new to this and have to learn the little tricks to feeding a preemie. We are getting it though. He may not be able to come home this weekend, but certainly wont be far behind. Should he need to stay a little longer we will transfer him to Glens Falls. Please keep all the babies in your prayers and especially Gabriel. We do have more pictures but with our schedule right now its tough to get any time and my camera got wet and doesn't seem to want to work now. Oh, if your curious to how are days go here's our schedule:
