Daddy blog - you've been warned

from JoeUser Forums
The babies are all doing well. Tabitha and Parrish ar over four pounds now and Chloe is right behind. They put on an ounce or two each day.

We hare still having issues with them dropping their heart rate or haveing and apnea spell but as their weight increases these symptoms should go away. Parrish and Chloe have a small heart murmer and will be checked on Monday. The neonatologist assures us that it is probably nothing to be worried about so I will take her advice because worry serves no purpose.

There are so many photos. (several hundred in fact) I'll only include a few here but if you are interested in more you can check them out here

Their first day in the crib together.



Hats by Karen(Dharma). I love them! They are still a little big but so very cute.



They all love to snuggle. We can put them in the crib apart but they are just like magnets. They squirm until they are right up next to each other. (Ok this one was posed ... but isn't it cute?)

I know the images arent showing up. Sorry. The picture of their hats were taken on the 16th and they were in the crib together on the 15th.

I can't edit the article so I'll post links to the other pictures.

They are still so tiny. I just want to touch their little hands and cheeks. They are so sweet. You are a lucky man. I love little newborn babies though my boys were monsters compared to yours. My middle one was 10lb.3oz. He was practically all three of yours in one. They just can't stay little long enough for me.

They really are quite healthy. The nurses all hope to get them on their shift because they don't really require much ... and they think they are cute!

They are adorable!


I think so! Thanks!

They just can't stay little long enough for me.


Sunday night I had two of them laying on my chest for over an hour. I was so at peace. When I left the hospital I could still feel the weight of the babies on my chest. It was a feeling that didn't leave me for several hours.

They are so precious.


Thank you!

They make me smile too.

You DESERVE a "daddy blog",


I am really trying to figure out how I want to chronicle this experience. I am much better with other forms of media than with the written word. For now though I will stick to my (sometimes) gratuitous boasting.

Deal.

Boast away, John, boast away. And enjoy. They won't stay young nearly long enough!

Sounds like they are doing incredibly well! Four plus pounds is AWESOME!

They are just so beautiful and perfect.

This is one of the sweetest things I've ever read.

John, your love and devotion to these children is humbling.

What a wonderfully lucky woman your wife is to have a man so in love with his babies.
