Jays first PJs were a little big but we love being in cloths out of the isolet

Kai was put into premie size and he couldn't bend his legs because they are to long for them

THE BEST SURPRISE EVER!!

NO MORE ISOLATES!! WE GRADUATED TO BIG BOY BEDS! We went into the hospital this morning at the 8 am feeding and it was the same as usual, except both boys ate all of their bottles! We were so excited to have both of them eat everything. Tonight at 5 we went in for their feeding and we ran into the nurse in the hallway pushing out the isolates. I asked if they were getting cleaned and she just said yes and followed us in. When we got in we saw that they were in their big boy beds! Dillon was fist pumping and their mom was almost in tears. It is so great! The nurses usually call and tell the parents when they are getting out of the isolates, but they waited for us to get there so it was a surprise! We are on the count down now!

We have the favorite babies of the NICU! All of the nurses love it when they get assigned to us because they are such good babies! Honestly when you look at them in the isolets they really do look content, and they never cry.










We had some more family pictures done. We were able to get them together so that we could see how much they look alike. The older they get the more they are looking alike. Jays skin tone is still a little bit lighter but he is getting darker every day. The only big difference now is that Kai has so much hair.






Our little Kai is already as boy as it gets. The second he gets a chance his hand is already down his pants


They got weigh again tonight. Our little Jay has become the older and bigger brother now. He was 4 lb 14.2 oz. Kai is now 4 lb 13.8 oz!



They have the best Grandparents in the whole world. They love showing off for them. It is the best that they ever eat!

The Babies Are Here!!!

I took this picture at 33 weeks. At that time i was 48in around and ready to die. Tuesday March 15 I went into the doctor and he checked me and of course I was not even close or even trying. We thought it would take forever for these little guys to come. That night at 3am i got up to go to the bathroom as usual, and then that was when I started to leek. After calling Trev at 3 am and talking to the nurse we decided that we would go in and get checked at 7am.We thought for sure that we would be sent home as usual, but this time it was the real deal and we were going to have babies that day! My doctor was already there so he came in and talked to us at 9:30 and by 11:45 we were getting wheeled into my c-section.

I was a little scared for Dillon having to be in there for a c-section. In the picture he looks happy and ready to go, but don't let him fool you he was nervous. The whole time during the c-section I kept asking him if he was doing ok because he was turning white. I have been in enough of these surgeries that i knew exactly where they were at so when I knew that it was close I told him, and he finally admitted that he was so nervous. As soon as he heard Jay cry though he jumped off his chair to see our little boy. He was so excited! He  was running back and forth from where the babies were and to me to tell me what was going on. It was so perfect! They brought the babies to me and I got to see how perfect they were for a few seconds.  Then Dillon left with the babies!

Kai Dillon Liechty 4 lb 9 oz

After my C-section was over. Dill left with the boys and I had to go back to the room until I could start to move my legs again. After 4 hours they finally let me go down and see them after suffering through my pain and morphine! I was trying so hard not to let anyone know how bad it hurt because I didn't want them to tell me no.













From that time on we spent every 3 hours down in the NICU with the absolute loves of our lives! They are making leaps and bounds now. We have no IV's anymore and starting to gain weight. We get to hold them only 2 times a day for 30 min. It has been really hard on us not getting to hold him all of the time. They have to stay in there isolets so that they can conserve their calories and start to maintain their temperatures. As soon as they can start eating all of their bottles and keeping their temps up we can go HOME!!!




They love their Grandparents!!! (Sorry Grandma Gayle your pictures will be on as soon as I figure out camera cords, and sorry Grandpa JR I don't know how to make you upright! I'm still learning this blogging stuff!)





I don't think these boys could ever feel like they aren't loved!
