The Waiting Game

It is simply hard to believe that Ethan, Emili and Lucas were born 7 weeks ago yesterday!  Time has gone by very fast as we have nestled into our busy routine.  The babies continue to do very well.  Over the past 10 days Lucas and Emili have successfully battled Urinary Tract Infections, which perhaps slowed them down just enough to keep them in the NICU an extra week or two.  Besides the UTIs all three have flourished.  As of today they all weigh in between 6 and 6 ½ pounds. 

It appears we are on the home stretch of their stay at IU North.  Everything is pointing at them to come home by mid-week this week.  It is nerve racking to think that within 24-48 hours we are going to have all 4 children of ours under the age of 2 at home with us.  At the same time, we are very excited for the adventure that is already underway.  We have already come to grips with the delicate balance between organization and ‘letting go’ of some of the details and control of our lives that used to be normal for us.  The next few months are going to be challenging but we are up for it and look forward to having fun everyday!

Taylor turns 2 on the 18^th of this month!  She is a great little girl and she continues to grow and change daily.  Everyone always tells you as a new parent that time is going to go by so quickly…This is so true and we are witnesses of it everyday.
