The boys have been doing very well these last couple of days and we wanted to share some of their progress with you. Exactly one week later they came off of their oxygen, came out from under the belly reuben lights, increased their feeding times and amounts, and they also started BOTTLE FEEDING,...but not every feeding though--it wears them out.
Eli Tait - Opening his eyes to say hello to mommy and daddy -something they have been starting to do much more often. He sure looks like a Tait--doesn't he???
Samuel Gene - Cuddling up to his blanket - they love to be snuggled and they cry every time they have to go back into their incubators.
Mom bottle feeding little Eli - He did a great job.
Dad - Bottle feeding Sam. He kept falling asleep during the feeding so dad needed some help trying to keep him awake long enough for him to finish the bottle.
One last pic of dad and sam.
We love you boys!

I'm so happy to hear that they are doing so well! Such tough little dudes! Hope all is well with you guys...will continue to keep your cute little family in my prayers.
BTW, do you mind me asking what hospital you delivered at? Just curious since I will have another 8weeks left. Have you been happy with their staff, etc?
Great job boys and mom and dad! Keep up with the updates and pics. We love to see and hear they are doing so well. Have they gained any weight yet?
Still no baby for us. I guess she's waiting until Wed when I'm induced.
They're so tiny!! I'm so happy to see that they're eating well, and progressing so quickly! We love you, guys!
Is Eli the Dr Suess baby? Too cute. Maybe I'll have to find a reason to visit my mom's ward when you guys bless them so I can see them in real life.
Jilly!!
This is Jeanette. I found your blog through stalking your sister Tara's, through my sister Andrea's. Ha ha. But I'm so happy I found you!!! TWINS!!!!! I saw Esther a while ago and she informed me that you were pregnant with twins. This is just crazyness. I'm so happy for you! And of course you looked gorgeous the whole pregnancy. All your pictures are so cute. Ok, what is your email address so that I can invite you to my blog? Love and miss you!
Jill and Nate,
I am so glad to see that everything is going well. I hate to call because I never know when you'll be down trying to see the babies and I'm sure you've had a million calls anyway. Just know we are thinking of you and praying for you. Give the boys a hug and kiss for us.
Love Trent and Tara

Hi Jill, I got the link from friends at work and looking at your boy brings back memories of our recent journey through the NICU experience. You guys look fab and the boys seem like they are progressing right along. Won't be long and they will be on their way home! So cute!! Vicki
They are so cute! You look absolutely beautiful too! Looks like they are doing really well.
I am pretty sure they couldn't get any cuter. Wait, then I look at you and DANG, Jill! You look amazing!
