Almost 8 weeks old

It is hard to believe our boys are almost two months old.  Today was their due date, March 8th, although we knew we would never deliver on this day.  It has been several weeks since we updated you on their progress, as we have been a little busy.  Every minute is worth it and we feel so blessed; however, I must admit that I ask, "Why Me?" when we are up "partying" most of the night.  Sometimes it is hard to see the blessing when you are surviving on just a few hours of non-continuous sleep.  Then the morning light comes and you focus in on those sweet little faces and I feel unworthy of having such perfect little gifts.  We know that this stage will pass quickly and we will miss these days.  We are about a month away from breaking them out of the house.  The dangerous RSV season will end in April and then we will be able to be around more people since the boys are stronger and less infection will be floating around.

All the boys are growing but Lincoln has had some difficulty gaining weight.  However, he seems to be on track now.  Poor little guy just doesn't love a big meal like the other two.  Today we went for their two month appointment and their weights and measurements are as follows:

                             Weight                 Length
Cade                     6 lbs 7 oz             19 3/4"
Evan                     6 lbs 12 oz           19 1/2''
Lincoln                 5 lbs 12 oz           19 1/2"

We are so thankful for all of the prayers, gifts, and help we have received over the past several months.  It is truly taking a city to raise these boys.  Without all of you this would be so much more difficult!  THANK YOU!!!

Please continue to pray for Cade, Evan, and Lincoln's health and growth.  Brock is a great big brother, so we ask that you pray that he continues to feel like these little brothers are a blessing and not a curse :) and for Brian and I that we will make it on the small amount of sleep we are getting.

The following pictures were taken at 5 weeks.  Elisha Farmer, a very good friend of mine from high school, who has taken many pictures of Brock, traveled down to spend the day with us and take pictures of the boys.  WHAT A GIFT!!!
