Babies are still in the NICU, and we’re driving back and forth to see them each day. We’re trying to be there for all their day feeds, which are 8:30, 11:30, 2:30, and 5:30. They are keeping up with their feeding requirements by bottle, but it takes them a long time to get through their feeds.
The doctors want them both to get back to at least 4 lbs. That is definitely a requirement for discharge. If they fall behind on their feeds, they will have to get back on their feeding tubes. Both girls have had great bilirubin checks for a few days, so no more light therapy for anyone.
Michael and I have been through plenty of difficult seasons in our marriage, and have always come out stronger. This has to be the hardest so far. Cancer, twin-pregnancy with complications, 2 premies, NICU time, 2 big kids at home that need care and attention who have yet to meet their sisters, our families stressing themselves out to meet our needs, and all the emotions that come with all of this. This isn’t easy and feels so unfair.
We pray for things to be easier, we pray for things to go our way, but so far, we wait.
Thanks for hanging in there with us. 👶🏼🩷👶🏼

Congratulations on the birth of these two precious little girls!!! We are praying for Amelia & Lillian and your entire family! Being parents of premies ourselves, we understand your heartache and pray for you all each day. The boys spent 2 months in the NICU and had lots of ups and downs along the way but look at them now! Those two babies are so lucky to have the two of you as their parents and Charlotte and Harrison as their big sister and brother! Lillian and Amelia will learn so much from them. We’re so thankful they’re both headed in the right direction and reaching all of their goals! Love and prayers to all of you. Lots of love and prayers for you as well Katelyn, in your battle with cancer. If you ever need a babysitter, just let us know. We’d be happy to help! ❤️Rita, Jeff, Troy, Tyler & Travis Seese

Thanks so much, Seese family! My kids still talk about how much they love Tyler and will be sad when he graduates!
