Today was Jack and Ella's 3 week birthday... most people don't celebrate a 3 week birthday, but we will celebrate every week. Though Jack gave us some extra gray hairs yesterday, all is well.
First the "stats" of the week: Ella is doing well and weighs a hefty 2lbs and 3 ounces. She had a blood transfusion earlier in the week due to too many A/Bs. Jack is up to 1lb and 10 ounces. Yesterday he decided that Ella was getting too much attention and joined his little sister with reoccurring A/Bs. His color turned pasty; we were very worried. Jack was given a transfusion and is currently on antibiotics. Hopefully it was just a matter of too few red blood cells...
David finally got the pleasure of spending the night in the NICU room. We requested a sleep room Saturday night but didn't get one; so we decided to stick it out in Jack and Ella's rooms. I slept in Jack's room and David slept in Ella's room. Fortunately, David was very tired, and Ella had a calm night. Jack, however, couldn't get "comfortable" so he whimpered most of the night. I hate hearing them cry, so I didn't get a lot of sleep. I felt badly for his nurse as she tried and tried to make him happy. Hopefully we don't have many more nights like that.
We had lots of visitors over the last several days; thanks for your friendship!
I'm sorry if this entry is a little disjointed, but the Patriots just lost the Super Bowl, and the celebration is on!! (That and I'm tired!)

Billie says Happy 3 week Birthday :)
I hope as you move towards your 4 week celebration everybody has a calm, healthy week full of growth spurts and weight gain.
Happy 3 week, Jack and Ella! Every day is a day closer to going home. Hang in there, Mom and Dad. Your stamina and presence are exactly what they need. I continue to pray every day. The pastor talked about the healing and miraculous power of prayer yesterday; I thought of you!
A nice Colts victory would have been a good Birthday present, but alas a Patriots loss will do :)
Happy 3 weeks Jack and Ella! Keep hanging in there David and Kristy, you're doing great!
Happy 3 week Birthday Jack and Ella. We hope you two have an uneventful week, and we pray that you continue to pack on the weight. David and Kristy you both are doing a great job, hang in there. Take care we think of you guys all of the time.
