Growing

The boys are still growing.  Cooper now weighs as much as Brayson did at birth.  Cooper's weight is 3lbs 14oz.  Emerson is not far behind at 3lbs 13oz.  And Brayson is weighing 4lbs 6oz.  It want be long and all babies will be over 4lbs.  Emerson has had the biggest percentage of weight gain with a 24% increase from birth weight.  Cooper's percentage of weight gain is 22% and Brayson is at 13%.  Jill and I went to see them this morning and they were all doing good.  Cooper had just got fed by our favorite nurse or one of our favorite nurses.  His name is Dana.  I mentioned him in an older post.  Cooper was wide awake and alert when we got there.  Then we met with Emerson's Resident doctor, Dr. Epson.  She was very nice and very knowledgable about premature babies.  As Dr. Epson was examining Emerson, Emerson woke up and was wide awake.  We visited with Emerson and Cooper for a while and then went to see Mr. Brayson.  Brayson was getting fed and was awake as well.  That was awesome seeing all the boys eyes.  Last night when we went to see them they were all getting some sleep.  They seem to be doing better with the heart rate drops but they are still occuring.  I am ready for them to stop!!  But it will take some more time. 

Jill and I are doing well.  We are going over to a friends house today that live here in Mobile.  They used to live in Ocean Springs but moved a year or so after Hurricane Katrina.  Jill and I lived with them after the Hurricane for about a week.  They have a labordor retriever like our dog Logan.  Her name is Layla.  Logan and Layla were really tight after the storm but got separated when they moved.  Jill is wanting to going shopping with Melissa, while Chris and I catch up on old times.

Check out these pictures from this morning.
