Sunday Afternoons....

I love Sunday afternoons. I think that they are my favorite days. I especially love Sundays like today because today we got a special surprise when we went to visit our two favorite little boys after church.

They have grown so big that they have said "bye bye" to their isolette and "hello" to their very first big boy crib. What an awesome Sunday!

This was what we saw today when we walked into their room...

Sullivan looked pretty happy to be with his brother in their new crib (look at that dimple :)
Moments later they were sound asleep.
A proud dad loving on his boys.
"Thanks Ms. Jill for moving us into a crib"-sullivan & cam

aaawww..sweet!
Look at those sweet outfits and matching hats.


The boys really are little rock stars! They are now taking 2 feedings from me (mom) a day and are doing great! They are also growing so fast! Camden is weighing 3 lbs and 15 oz and Sullivan is (drum roll please) 4 lbs! Woo hoo! Also, Sullivan has defied the odds and has not needed a blood transfusion because his body seems to be making his own red blood cells. We are waiting for their eye tests to be done, which should be sometime during the next week or so.

We are so excited about all of these little milestones, and certainly can't wait to be able to take our boys home....but until then we will continue to enjoy the company from the wonderful nurses (thank you all!) and our friends in the NICU. Little Sunshine is doing so well....she is off of her c-pap and getting so big! Presley and Cullen are wonderful too! They will be celebrating their one week birthday tomorrow. They are so sweet! We love that we can say hello to them everytime we go visit our boys. Hope they like being buddies because their mom and dad (we) really like hanging out with their parents :).
On a side note....
I have to try to remind myself to stay positive because there are so many great things that have come out of our "preemie" experience. One of those positives is pictured below. I wasn't allowed to eat sushi while pregnant and last night Chris took me on a date to our favorite sushi place. Yum! It was deee-lish-ous!
Everyone says that the family pets kinda get the "back burner" once kids come. I am trying to make sure that this doesn't (completely) happen so yesterday I spent some time with our sweet dog. What a beautiful (and extremely hot) day it was.
