7 Weeks Old!

Today the boys hit 7 weeks old! And tomorrow is their 36 week gestation mark! The time is flying by and the boys are getting chubby!!  I love it!!

Will is now 6 lbs 2 oz, and Jack is 5 lbs 11 oz, and they are both a little over 18 inches long. They are definitely growing!!  And getting cute little double chins!  

This was what I saw when I arrived this morning...precious sleeping babies!  They are just beautiful!

Jack in front...

Today Will pulled out his feeding tube, so I had a few minutes of enjoying his whole face before the nurse had to put it back in.  Look at this cute face!!



Today they both had their hearing test done, and they both passed!!  Praise Jesus!

He was connected to electrodes, and you can kind of see the stick on earphones on his ear.  Neither boy seemed to mind the test!

Here is a picture of Jack from yesterday.  They both have been making the cutest faces lately!

A little sneak peek/preview of their Halloween costumes.  Can't wait to show you their whole costumes soon!

Daddy and Jack

The boys are getting so big. Some of these pictures make them look huge, but they really are sill tiny! They are on the home stretch to coming home.  Right now they are take 4-5 of their 8 feedings a day by mouth, and once they get to 8 of 8, they'll be coming home!  We're going to have them home before their due date (November 18) for sure! We can hardly wait!!!

Thank you for continuing to pray for them!!

Hi Steiner Family! We connected with Justin on Facebook and I stayed up REALLY late catching up on your life the last 4 years. First, I am so sorry for the loss of Jonathan. What a precious boy. We went through an early loss last May and it was very difficult. The boys are absolutely adorable! Congratulations and we will continue to pray for smooth sailing and a quick homecoming. Please let us know if we can do anything at all. We would love to see you and meet the boys someday! Take care!
Beth, Keith and Emma Schobert
