Hello Everyone,

As you will be able to see from the pictures below, the Steel Boys are growing and doing better every day. Joseph's jaundice as you can tell is much better which seems to indicate that his liver is also funtioning better. He is still having a hard time with bowel movements which causes him quite a bit of pain sometimes so prayers for him in this regard would be very much appreciated. These problems seem to be mainly related to him being so small.

That was from Dad. Mom here now. I just had to pass Joseph to Matt to finish his feeding because sometimes Dad has the magic touch.

The photo of all three of my boys was taken tonight. Every evening when Matt gets home he plays with the boys and tonight it was especially fun watching the babies vie for his attention. I took this photo because with his glasses off it is easy to see how much the boys resemble their Dad.

We have been working hard to get the babies on a schedule where they sleep more at night. Benjamin is doing well, with only one feeding in the early a.m. and last night he slept nine hours straight for the first time! Lucky for Dad since he is the one doing Benjamin's night time feedings.

Joseph is still needing to eat more frequently and as he is getting over the thrush infection in his mouth his feedings can be difficult so I am up with him every three hours or so through the night.

Other than the yeast infection (thrush) we have been blessed not to have any sicknesses. The boys are both getting their RSV antibodies injections through March but we are nontheless keeping them in the house as much as possible just to be safe. Matt and I try to take turns going to church while the other stays home with the babies. We can't wait for April to get here so we can get out and about as a family.

Meanwhile, keep the emails coming. We sure appreciate the communication. And if you are healthy and feel like stopping by just give me a call, I would love the company!
