The boys are 10 weeks old, and growing like weeds :)

Stetson - 3 lbs 6oz 
Bakker - 3 lbs 11.6 oz 

Stetson - Now that they figured out his 'food' he is packing on the weight, getting longer and finally filling out. He has to gain a bunch more weight before they can put his intestines back together again, but we are getting there. The most exciting thing is that possibly next week he can go on a cpap machine instead of having the tube down his throat!

Bakker- He is doing pretty good - he might have alittle bug or an infection so he's been a little touchy but he's still such a ham. Now people probably have wondered why Bakker always has a sock on one foot... well when he was really little the tips of his toes kind of turned black from lack of circulation and the dead tips have finally all fallen of. So he will have some stubby toes on one foot. We aren't sure how much came off but he will have toe nails on most of them so we just have to wait to see how they look as he grows. He might have a slight bone infection from this which could be what is bugging him but now we just have to wait and see. There really are so many unknowns when babies are this little! As for his lungs they still aren't the greatest, so we have to wait and grow for him to move forward with everything. 

Now here's alittle of what goes on every day - every day they each have a nurse who changes them, watches their breathing, heart rate all the fun things. They also 'excersize' everyday with the therapist who helps with bone development and head shape, all those things. I also hold them when I can if they are having a good day. They also will get xrays and bloodwork just about everywhere day. Them now every Wednesday they get eye exams to make sure their eyes are developing correctly, since they were born so early. 

Other than all that it's pretty boring here. They just sleep, eat, exercise and poop (well Bakker poops Stetson can't quite yet). I just pray, pump and hold babies haha

Thank you so much for the prayers and support during this time!
