Around the house

Just a few pictures of our peanuts from the past week.

They love to be together and since they are so tiny right now they swing together and snuggle in the bouncy seat or bassinet together all the time.

All I want for Christmas...

Tummy time

First real bathes, they both loved the warm water and were much happier in the tub than with a sponge bath.

Both boys are doing great we just need them to put on a few pounds (or ounces) pronto. At two weeks they were not back to birth weight and a little scrawnier than our doctor would like. We're supplementing formula after nursing at each feeding and go back tomorrow for another weigh in. I would love your prayers for healthy weight gain, just make sure you specify that it is for Coyt and Crew, not Caryn, I do not want your prayers for weight gain. :)

Visitors!!

Tommy & Sharon

Nick & Wendi, they came all the way from Doha just to see Coyt & Crew, Ok Maybe not, but it was a treat that they were in town to meet our little loves.

Too bad these babies aren't loved. ;)

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

Brothers

On the day the babies were born Stacey and Wyatt were on the way to the hospital to meet Coyt and Crew when Aunt Cassie called to say that Wyatt had thrown up in the car on the way there. :( Apparently two boys in his preschool class had gone home sick with strep that day. So they turned around and were quarantined for the next few days. Turned out both Wyatt and Stacey had strep throat. We were SO sad that they couldn't be with us and hated that we couldn't be there to help take care of them. THANKFULLY Debbie, Shelley and Cassie all sacrificed their time with the babies to take care of the sickies for us.

We face timed the boys the day before we came home and showed them Coyt and Crew and talked them through everything in our room, what the nurses were doing etc. Wyatt kept asking "Are they borned??" and Stacey would ask, "How are the babies feeling?" As the nurse was swaddling one of the boys and we were explaining Wyatt asked in a rather alarmed tone "Why are they swallowing the baby?" They couldn't get enough and we couldn't wait to introduce them to their brothers.

Obviously things didn't go the way we had planned them but it just made the first time our six pack was together that much sweeter.

Getting ready to meet The Bigs.

The boys were precious as they saw The Littles for the first time.

They couldn't wait to hold them.






All six of us. :)

I could not have felt more joyful or blessed having all the family together and soaking in Stacey and Wyatt as they took in Coyt and Crew.

They both suddenly seemed HUGE!! And so far from their days as my tini tiny babies. :)

Coming Home

This picture just makes me laugh, as we were getting ready to leave the hospital we got the boys all dressed in their little coming home outfits and were all ready to take some pictures when they both just lost their minds and started screaming crying. OK no photo shoot. I am holding them both here as they cry, a vision of things to come perhaps. ;) Thankfully they both calmed down once we got them buckled in.

Locked and loaded
This is it boys, welcome home.

A few hospital pictures of our snuggle bugs

First of a lifetime of pictures together.

C & C on day two of their little lives

"The Fog" Dr. Fogwell our beloved doctor who has delivered all four of our boys beautifully :)
