over 4 pounds

Big news!  Both boys are now over 4lbs!  They are feeding from bottles a few times a day and overall are doing very well.  Logan is a great eater.  He is able to eat without his stats dropping.  Often times premies don't know how to eat, breath, swallow all together without forgetting to do one of the three.  Often times they forget to breath so their stats drop.  Logan does a fantastic job eating.  Dylan is having a harder time but I am not surprised.  Logan has been bottle feeding for a few weeks longer than Dylan has.  He will get the hang of it soon enough.
The boys were moved to Fair Oaks hospital which is only about 7 minutes from out house.  It is such a huge blessing! I am able to go for quick visits more than once a day if I like.  The room is quiet, the boys are happy and it shows.  Jake and I are happy!  Every time we walk in to the NICU there it is calming, peaceful.  Fairfax, where they were is an incredible hospital and they do amazing work! They are the only hospital around that takes premies as little as our boys were.  They were transferred for great reasons and we are thankful for the care they received at Fairfax, but we are so thankful for the environment at Fair Oaks.
For now it doesn't look like the boys will be home for Thanksgiving.  They are still in isoletes and they need to be able to maintain their body temperature while being in an open crib before they can come home.  They also have to pass a carseat test.  They need to be in the carseat for 90minutes without having any problems.  They also obviously need to eat without having any problems.  So basically we are on the road home! The three things the boys need to do before they can come home are
 - maintain body temperature
 - eat without being in distress
 - breath on their own (Dylan is still getting a little help with a nasal thingy of oxygen)

So, keep praying!  They are growing beautifully!! Also, please pray for Dylan.  He is having another echo cardiogram on the 24th to check on his PDA.  So please pray it has closed!!!

I am doing well.  Feeling better, breathing better.  My voice has not returned.  My dr. said it should it just might take time.  Please pray it returns soon.  It's very challenging to be in a loud house with no voice :-(

Blessings to you all!!!
