Today Grandpa La Fleur made a visit from Jefferson, SD to see us all! He got to hold Carter, and see the other prescious babies as well! It was so awesome to have him here...I missed him for sure, so while the trip was short, it was very meaningful.
All in all, the babies are making good progress. They are getting my breastmilk fortified, which means the nurses add calories to it. That way, the babies get more calories without having to consume more food. I guess it is pretty normal to do that with preemies. The kids all still have some reflux issues, which when I told my mom that, she said that they'd just call it being a spitty baby when we were kids. Anyway, they keep the isoletts proped up a bit, and that seems to help with the spitting.
They are all still being fed through a feeding tube, but hopefully we will try the bottle next week. Did I say that in another post? I honestly can't keep it all straight anymore.
Kevin and I sure do appreciate all the prayers that have been sent our way. We can feel them, and see them, too! I know we are truly blessed with our new family, and can't wait for you all to meet them soon.

Awww, the picture of your grandpa and Carter is so sweet -- he hasn´t changed a bit (your grandpa, that is)!! Glad the kiddos are still doing well and making progress! You look great!
Amazing, amazing, amazing , amazing. Congratulations to you and Kevin. They all look so beautiful. I'm sure it wasn't easy, but you did a great job growing those babies nice and big. smooches to all 4 of them from us. Heather Wuebker
I'm a little disappointed that you spelled Grandpa's name wrong. It's LaFleur. Good thing he doesn't understand this internet business so he can't he your error.
Looks like the blue light gave some of the babies a nice base tan! Lucky...
All kidding aside, I'm glad things have been progressing positively! It's nice to see Pepe made it down for a quick visit as well!

Wow Jess! It sounds like they are all doing great!! How wonderful! While they can't technically see you, they can see light and dark...so basically you are a blob to them. But a very important blob!!! Don't worry, they know your smell...they know their mommy!! Sleep now while you can and if you need anything at all let us know! Love, Jennifer (Frideres)Gabel
