First Family Photo

Yesterday was a very exciting day in the Sadie Padie household, a very nice NICU nurse got all three boys out for us and we got our first family photo! Dad is holding Oliver, I have Henry on the left and Alex on the right. They are all off of the IV's which makes holding so much easier and we can now bring in some clothes for them to wear. It will still be a couple of weeks but they are getting closer each day.
Alex: Our little guy is a big eater! Even though he is just over 3lbs he is eating the same amount as his brothers. He, like Oliver has found his thumb and loves his pacifier. We showed up today and he was sleeping on it. He is doing really well and loves to be held.

Oliver: He continues to get spoiled by the nurses! He had a little spit up a couple of feedings in the past few days so the make sure to give him the breastmilk first. He has found his thumb and is doing a great job working on his pacifier. Once his weight gets up a little, he is just under 4lbs they can start to bottle feed him.



Henry: This little guy is up to 4lbs! He also had his first bottle feed last night. It was just a little bit but he took it and kept it down. This is a great sign and he is ahead of the pack. His favorite nurse said that he is so calm and never gets upset at anything.
