Cancer Update

I just wanted to share with you all...

Best News Ever...

THE CHEMO IS WORKING!!!

I had my CT scan this morning and went up to see my oncologist right after. He said this was one of the best scans he's seen in a long time. The smaller tumors are either gone or have shrunk and the larger tumor is hollowed out an no longer active. We are absolutely ecstatic about the news. I am hooked up to my chemo pump right now and couldn't be happier to have this toxic drug going into my body because it's working!

Thank you again for all your prayers...they worked!

Baby Food

Since the babies started eating solids we have been making all their food with organic vegetables. This past weekend we had a baby food making marathon! We made peas & carrots, peas, green beans, pears, apples, and peaches. The vegetables were cooked and then pureed. The fruits were baked and then pureed. I then put them into ice cube trays and froze them. Each day we will thaw a couple ice cubes of fruits or veggies and feed them to the babies.

And Preston makes Three

All three babies are successfully sleeping unswaddled!!!

Kesleigh is still waking a few times a night and just needs to be soothed a bit but goes right back to sleep. Not sure what that's all about but whatever. The boys are sleep champs!! We are getting a set schedule down for naps and for the most part (except Kesleigh) I can put them down at 8:30am to nap. Kesleigh just doesn't seem to need as much sleep during the day.

My mom brought them to our last day of school last week so everyone could see them...wow were we a spectacle for all:)



Hope you have a great weekend!!

Operation Unswaddle

So far so good. Gavin and Kesleigh are sleeping through the night unswaddled. I don't think Preston is ready yet because he's so little still andlikes being wrapped tight. I think 2/3 isn't bad:)

Here are some unverified weights on the babies. We weighed DH and then added a baby so they should be "somewhat accurate"

7 Months:
Kesleigh: 20.4 lbs
Preston. 16.6 lbs
Gavin: 18.36 lbs.

7 Months!

I seriously cannot believe they are 7 months old. Kesleigh is sleeping w/o her swaddle!!I thought for awhile there she would go to college swaddled:)Kesleigh and Gavin are both sitting up w/o help. Little man Preston still needs some help but he's ahead in other areas (like holding his own bottle). It's just so amazing how different they are. We have started taking them out somewhere every weekend just to get a change of scenery. We hear, "my you guys have your hands full" everywhere we go. Yes, I guess we do but honestly we don't know any different so it's not that bad at all. Yes, the first 6 weeks or so were rough but they are interactive now and so much fun. Sorry I haven't updated more, things are a bit busy around here:)

Head: 18" (99th percentile)

Preston:

Head: 17" ( 34th percentile)

Height: 25 3/4" (26th percentile)
Head: 17 1/2" (72nd percentile)

We needed more on our plate...

As if we didn't have enough going on...our Boston Terrier had to have his left eye removed on Monday. He had a bad cyst inside it and was pretty much blind because of cataracts and glaucoma. The vet was really worried about his eye rupturing so we opted to have it removed. Poor guy! He is doing great though, back to his old self which he hasn't been in almost a month.

My surgery went really well yesterday and I am just home resting.
