So I Was Feeling a Little Sentimental...

and looked back at photos from Aylin's 1st birthday party! AWE :) So here are a few comparison shots of my kiddos:

(BIRTH)

Left: Aylin Jewel on the day we brought her home from the hospital, 3 days old. She was 5 weeks early and weighed 5lbs14oz and went straight to the well baby nursery.

Right: Hilton Isaiah on the day we brought him home from the hospital, 9 days old. He was 3 weeks early, weighed 8lbs8oz, and had to send 9 days in the NICU.

(1st Birthday Invitation Pics)

Aylin weighed 19 lbs and 13 oz at her 12 month check-up. She had 5 teeth and was crawling and pulling up, but not taking any steps.

Hilton currently weighs 24lbs and has 7 teeth. He is crawling, but not pulling up just yet.

Tomorrow we go for his neurological appointment to discuss these seizures. Prayers welcomed ;)

Louie, the Boxer

Buster is 4

Our 2nd little blessing, Hilton Isaiah, was born 3 weeks early via an emergency c-section also because of preeclampsia. He was already 8lbs8oz and spent 9 days in the NICU because of a spontaneous pneumothorax (popped right lung); he also had a heart murmur and had to have a blood transfusion his very 1st night. Poor guy suffers from febrile seizures, and also took physical therapy for about a year b/c of delayed gross motor skills. We are so thankful to have this little man blessing our lives.

Puppy is 2

Our 3rd blessing, Weston Julian, was born 5 weeks early via another C-section because of preeclampsia. This pregnancy was a rough one: at 24 weeks I started having severe stomach pains and at 28 weeks had an emergency umbilical hernia surgery, and have been on bed rest ever since because of preeclampsia. At 32 weeks I started having daily headaches and frequent migraines (at least 2 a week). At 33 weeks our ultrasound technician discovered my amniotic fluid was decreasing and he was not showing much growth, so now we started twice a week visits and at least 1 ultrasound each week to keep a closer eye on him. We are incredibly thankful that our last little blessing arrived safely and weighed 5lbs 13oz and did not have to go to the NICU.
