We haven't had time to download any new photos (this parenting stuff sure is time consuming!), but we do have some new news to share.
Tanner has reached 4 pounds! He is doing great and is such a little fighter. Several nurses have commented on how loud he can be. He certainly won't let anyone overlook him! He is so little, but it is a miracle to watch him grow every day!
Dylan is up to 5 bottle feeds a day! They both eat eight times a day and started out eating 4 times with a bottle and 4 times through their little feeding tubes. To go home, they have to be able to finish 8 bottles a day, so adding a bottle to their schedule is a great accomplishment. Dylan is turning in to quite the little eater!

Happy 1st (Week) Birthday!!!
We are so very proud to introduce our boys Tanner Joseph & Dylan James!
Dylan with his 'bow', really just a little IV.
Tanner with his wild hair!
This is their little suite. Complete with bed for mom & dad, fridge just for their milk as well as one for adult food, a TV, and a great view. We love that they can be so close to each other. We cannot wait until we can all go home as a family!
Dylan James:
A big thank you to all of our family and friends who have prayed for us through the last few weeks!
Today they are one week old!!! They were born on July 20, 2010.
Tanner was born at 4:45 pm weighing 3 lbs 14 oz.
Dylan was born at 4:46 pm weighing 6 lbs 3oz.
Both babies and mom and dad came through the birth just fine!
Mom is recovering from her C-section. Tanner was taken to the NICU because of his low birth weight. Dylan joined him a short time later because his breathing was a little labored. (But we think he really just wanted to be closer to his brother!) The boys spent their first three days being watched after 24-7.

Mom & Dad could visit any time they wanted and certainly took advantage of these times.
On day four, both boys 'graduated' to the Special Care Nursery where they will stay until they are ready to go home.
