Well, here are the one month pictures and stats.
Alex - (We didn't get a good picture because he had the CPAP still on) 3lb 12oz (he hasn't been gaining a lot, but they finally upped his food intake so he will start gaining again) 16 1/2 inches long.
Grant - 4lbs 12oz, 17 inches long. He is now taking some of one feeding a day by bottle. He just has to get the suck-swallow-breath thing down still.
Ethan - He had a major week last week, so he is semi-swollen this week, but you won't believe how he's grown... 3lbs 7oz (minus 4 or 5oz for swelling... so 3lbs 2oz)!!!!! 15 inches long (up from the 12 at birth!!) I was so happy to hear he is still doing well considering he isn't eating breastmilk yet. Hopefully midweek he will be able to start feeding again.
We also had a shower at our church on Saturday. (Thank you Brenda for the wonderful job of setting it up and hosting!) We had a wonderful time getting out of the house and hospital (even though the boys couldn't) and got a bunch of WONDERFUL gifts from our church family!!! Thank you everyone, for everything, and for the prayers. If that was all we got this whole time, it would be totally worth it because these boys need all the prayers they can get.

As often as God brings you to mind, you are in our prayers. What treasures they are:)
Keep up the God work and remember to take care of yourself to better care for those precious bundles of joy...enjoy the round the clock nursing care for some day (soon) it will all be on you:)
