It feels like forever since I last posted but so much has happened by head is spinning.
My precious babies were born on Thursday, December 27th, 2007. Cameron Scott weighed in at 4 pounds 8 oz and Alexis Jean was 4 pounds 4 oz. They are ten days old today and my heart breaks each night Scott and I have to leave them in the NICU. I made it to 34 weeks!
Our lil girl seems to be doing much better than our lil guy at this point. She has learned how to take feedings and is up to four feedings by bottle and 4 feedings through the tube while Cameron is still learning how to suck and swallow. They tell me every day that it is like a light that magically gets turned on and that he will start to desire to feed but each day I sit with him and wait. The mear thought of taking her home without him kills me and I try so hard to find comfort in knowing a year from now this will be a distant faded memory.
I have lost 30 pounds now in ten days. No small potatos since I only gained 22 pounds with the pregnancy. I now weigh 113 and it scares me that I still seem to loose each day wondering when it will stop.
I am emotionally exhausted right now with getting to the hospital for feedings and just trying to stay healthy myself. I seem to cry so much these days and am trying so hard to find strength in the idea they will be home soon.
Until they come home,
Kelly

Smile and enjoy these small infant days. They go so fast.
