Day 100

100 days in the Nicu. We still are not to their official due date, although we had planned they would come sometime around Christmas or New Years. It's easy to say this has been the hardest 100 days our lives. There has been thousands of miles driving, hundreds of hours spent in the hospital, and buckets of tears. I pump an average of 7 times a day, that's 700 times & over 20 gallons of breastmilk. But enough about Don & I.

Mabry has went from 1 pound 6.9 oz to 7 pounds 1 oz, and Alex was born at 1 pound 10 oz and is now 6 pounds 5 oz. Alex spent 62 days on a ventilator and Mabry about as long under the "super dome" oxygen hood. They endured multiple blood transfusions, countless heel sticks, a heart surgery, a damaged septum, and spent their 1st Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas & entire lifetime away from their family. They have both came such a long way, and we couldn't be prouder of how strong they are. We can finally see the finish line.
Mabry the first day we visited Cardinal Glennon.
Mabry now.
Alex the first visit.
Alex now.
Thank you all for continued support.
