one month old, 32 weeks gestation

These last few days have been a good continuation of progress that started on the weekend.  Bennett did well off his CPAP Sunday night.  Andrew went off his CPAP yesterday morning and did well too.  Both are still really stable!  We get to hold them twice a day now and they are starting to be able to hold their own temperature.  Bennett got his clothes on tonight for the first time.  These guys have come such a long way in a month!  Every few days, we have a new nurse of RT that tells us they remember hearing when the boys came in and how sick they were.  This is scary to think about especially since they have 150+ nurses and 60 patients at one time.

Char went to school with Mason and Orion again which she was really excited about, and she got some special daddy and mommy time too.

Andrew is 4 lbs!!

I got to hold them both for the first time.  You can see how Andrew (right) is bigger than Bennett.

Kristen took Char for ice cream.  First time ever at Dairy Queen.

Uncle David (Brad's brother) got his Army Combat Medic Award for his service in Afghanistan.  We're really proud of him and can't wait for him to come home.


Bennett did great without his CPAP over night


Kristen w/ Andrew


Andrew no CPAP


Char setting up our favorite game "bugs and trucks".  You push the truck at the bug and whichever one you hit is yours.  This on had the variation of animals where you hit the animals who run and get the bug.  Char has been getting new cars when she's a really good girl, starting when we were going up to Seattle for doctor visits twice a week.  This is really special time I have with her.
