DISCHARGED :o)

Connor and Jackson have officially been discharged from the NICU :) After spending 145 days in the St. Joe's NICU and being followed for 3.5 years, they have been given a clean bill of health and declared perfect :)

We all knew they are perfect but it feels really good to have all the special Dr's, Nurses and specialists at the NICU agree with us :)

They have come so far and next September , they will be starting school :) Look out !

I am so lucky that I get to spend 3 days a week having Jackson and Connor at my place. They are best friends to my son Noah who is just 2.5 months older then they are :) What great adventures they have :) They are truly a joy to be around, so smart, lovable , active and curious. They keep me on my toes and have coined the name Tanta for me:)

I'm so proud of the Daddy my brother has become, Dace and Rhonda are such great parents to the boys and Brady too :) I'm so happy to be a part of their lives :)

Long Overdue Update !!!!!

Sorry it's been so long since our last update. Things around here can get very hectic.
The boys are doing very well.
Jackson is 35lbs he loves to climb and act silly. He's been walking since Oct, He never refuses a meal or snack. Jackson has problems sleeping at night, not sure why. He does have some gallstones which may be the problem. He still is mommies boy and showers me with kisses throughout the day. He also enjoys sitting with Brady (lab) and smothering him with lots of kisses by the time they are done they are both soaking wet.
Connor is 25lbs he loves to play and laugh. He just started walking at Christmas, he is a little behind because of his low muscle tone. He also loves to eat but still has problems keeping food down. This could be because of his paralyzed vocal cord or it is typical for preemies to have this problem, and he just has to out grow it. Connor is still daddy's boy and loves to sit with him and cuddle.
They have come a long way!!
There were many days in the NICU that we were not sure if we would bring either of them home. We are very fortunate.
