They are overall doing well. Each one has their ups and downs, and individual personalities.
Ellen is doing better and is off of the Mag! She is recovering quickly.
More to come, we are still running hard. We will fill in the gaps, and return calls and emails as soon as possible.

Oh how cute!!! I am soooo happy to see them! What a long journey they (and you) had. Love you all.
ReplyDeleteSusan
Congratulations. They are all beautiful (well, the boys are handsome) LOL. I can't believe how many of them have hair. Sawyer was born with hair and I just love seeing babies with hair.
ReplyDeleteBless your hearts, I'm praying for all of you. I'm glad to hear Ellen is doing well and I hope she will be gaining her strength back soon.
I know the roller coaster you are on with the babies being in the NICU. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or need to talk.
I am praying for their breathing and their feeding needs since I know how important those are. Of course everything is, but those are such a delicate balance.
Hang in there!
They look so sweet! Love all that hair! What proud parents you both must be. We're continuing to keep your family in our thoughts.
ReplyDeleteLove, Jess, Drew, & Mason
Oh, MY GOSH......now THEY are the poster children for ADORABLE!!!
ReplyDeleteWhen this site took a long time to load on my computer, I nearly went bonkers....it could just not come up quickly enough! I LOVE seeing these little miracles! Yay for Ellen to be off the mag; even though it helped stave off labor for so long, I cannot imagine how hard it was to endure! These little kiddos are God-sent and I cannot wait to love on 'em!!! Take care and know that we are praying! We are going out to see their friend Baby Johanna tonight!! Love you!
Suzanne
wow they are so precious. You guys are amazing and I am so grateful to God for your blessings and health. WE LOVE YOU ALL
ReplyDeletePrecious! Simply precious! Those photos bring tears to my eyes!
ReplyDeleteCongrats! I'm so happy for you guys!! It is so miraculous meeting your new little one for the first time and you guys get to experience it 5 times over! Rest up and enjoy getting to know your new family members.
ReplyDeleteBrandi
GOD Bless you all and multiple congratulations to everyone. What an amazing miracle. I was a nanny to infant triplets 20 years ago and it was an awesome experience I will always treasure. So many rewards. Wish I lived closer so I could share in these beautiful miracles but it looks like you have lots of anxious people ready to jump in and cuddle babies. My very best to all of you. You are amazing!
ReplyDeleteLinda from WV
Even though this is my first time posting to your site, I have been following your progress for almost all of the pregnancy. I am so proud of you...you have done an amazing job in such a trying time. Continued prayers for you, your DH and your beautiful bounty! What amazing little miracles they are.
ReplyDeleteGod Bless,

Way to go, guys! The wonderful chaos that is your life is just beginning. Along with Jac Tubre, I'm also a Banner Good Sam graduate. It was only 7 months ago but seems SO much longer. Hang in there - you're in the best hands possible. Please feel free to contact me if you think of anything I might be able to help with (questions, concerns, support, venting). There's something to be said for being able to talk to someone who's been down a similar road. All my thoughts and prayers are with your family!

Just saw you and your new family on Fox News here in Houston. I had to say a big PRAISE GOD for you, the doctors, and delivery of your new babies. Oh how sweet and perfect! Congratulations on being so calm and BEAUTIFUL especially with so many cameras around. Stephen was very sweet in the clips, too. We're here and waiting to help any way we can.

Children are a heritage from the Lord. What a blessing! We praise God for His faithfulness to you all, and we are continuing in prayer for these precious little ones that they would gain strength daily and grow in the knowledge of their Lord and Savior. We love you and miss you!
ReplyDeleteDeb & Fred
P.S. They have the best birthday in the world! :)
I've been reading your blog for a short while, but am so excited to see all your babies arrive safely. And so close to your goal too! Congratulations to you and your family, can't wait to see them grow!
ReplyDeleteEllen, How wonderful! They all look like little angels. I am an Aunt to quads and remember well this scary but absolutly amazing time. Hang in there, the next year will be blur. Take lots of pictures so you can remember. Sleep walking, talking, eating, diaper changing and feeding will be your greatest strength. Then you will wake up and they will be five. Our prayers are with you. Jen (UT)
ReplyDeletecongrats! so happy to hear that things are going well for the babies! i still marvel at the women that i've read about that have carried five further than my body could carry two!
