Still Lookin' Good!

We had a great visit today! The girls are progressing each time we see them! We attempted nursing for the first time and they ALL did a great job! What a relief! We are going to practice again tomorrow, but they don't seem to need the practice! They know exactly what to do! God sure planned it all to a "T"...He didn't leave out any details!

Avery moved to an open crib today! For those of you that aren't sure what I'm talking about...she moved to a regular crib that you see newborns in when you visit the hospital! This means she is even closer to coming home! She is still eating 38 mls each feeding, but she usually eats more! She is NEVER in a hurry though! Whoever feeds her can't rush her...patience is the key!

Rylie is right behind her! She is regulating her body temperature well enough that she might be in an open crib tomorrow! She is eating 37 mls...which is right behind her sister Avery! The only thing different is that it takes her NO time! When I fed her today, it took her less than 10 minutes to finish her bottle!

Korynne isn't too far behind her sisters either! She is slowly sneaking up on them! Her feedings are now at 36 mls...it takes her awhile, but she finishes it all...and MORE! She is a good burper too! Daddy was feeding her today and she let out a HUGE BURP! It sounded like she was growling at us...we all couldn't stop laughing!! As far as her body temperature goes...she is right behind Rylie! She should be in an open crib in the next day or two! Yippee!

The girls are all gaining weight again. They are all at their birth weight...or at least REAL close!
Avery 4 lbs. 5.8 oz.'s
Rylie 4lbs. 8.5 oz.'s
Korynne 4lbs. 3.4 oz.'s

Thank you all for your continued prayers! We know HE listens...we have 3 little miracles to prove it!

Love,
Bryan, Dana, Korynne, Rylie, and Avery Marquart (WOW! This is our family!)
