Trying to get into a groove!

Cale

Boady

Well, it is much easier said than done that's for sure! Cale and Boady and doing really good, eating and sleeping well. I know that I am very spoiled, but at night I have to wake them up every 3 hours to eat. That is how well they are sleeping. Griffen is also doing very well. So far, (knock on wood), he is LOVING his new brothers. He enjoys kissing and hugging on them. He is fairly lucky right now, however, because the boys sleep so much we have a lot of time to play one on one with him. I guesse God knew what he was doing when he made older and younger siblings.

Cale is home today!

So happy to be able to tell you that Cale made it home today. Because he eats so well, he made it home a day or two earlier than expected. He and Boady are very happy to have each other so close. They are surely identical. The doctors say probably, I say definately. Griffen is doing VERY well with his new brothers. He likes to kiss them. The picture doesn't do it justice but it is just SO cute.

We are officially a family of five!

Cale Gary Baker

Cale Gary Baker and Boady Leland Baker made their way into this world on Saturday December 29th 2007 at approximately 5:30 pm by c-section. Cale was baby A, he weighed 5 lbs and 7 oz and was 19 1/2 in long and he came into the world with a low blood pressure. He gave us a good scare because he was as white as a ghost. The doctors stabilized him in the OR and then took him down to the NICU to be observed and stabilize his blood pressure. Boady was baby B, he weighed 4 lb 15 oz, and was 18 in long. They both screamed a lot and that sure made me feel good hearing that. The c-section itself took about 45 minutes probably and then they took me to our recovery room which was our regular room. Brad spent a lot of time ushering between babies and me. Boady was able to come right down to the room with us. Cale was stuck in the NICU for a few days until he could stabilize hat blood pressure. They started him on Dopamine at 1 mg and have been tittering him down over the last few days. The boys are adorable. I love them both. We are able to hold Cale several times a day and can visit him anytime that there is not an emergency in the NICU. The doctors are 99% sure that the boys are identical. I believe them. They look a lot alike. When we were able to put them together for just a very short while to get some pictures while Cale was doing well.

They went from screaming to content in nothing flat. Hopefully they will keep that up until they are 18! It was sweet because they sucked on each other's faces and even though they were both flailing their arms, it didn't seem to bother the other one at all. It is truly amazing. Boady and I are staying one more night at the hospital and I will update on Cale's status as soon as possible.
