Brynn and Mia are back together

Its like they were never apart! This is the best sight 
to see in the whole wide world. One hospital, two babies,
PRICELESS!!


Mama giving hand containment to big man Brynn.
The nurses say this helps Brynn while they do their care
on him. Mal loves calming him down.


For Brynn we have to use night vision so we don't
disturb him while he sleeps in his dark cave.
Here he is snuggled and cuddling his Binky.


Typical Brynn... passed out sleeping!! What a life..
soon enough he will be complaining about going to bed.


Looks like someone is putting on some weight!!
Good boy!


Brynn loves his Binky!! and being snuggled under 
covers!


Miss Mia also loves her Binky. Except she also likes 
being a busy body and seeing what's going on around her.


Bath time with Miss Mia.. She loves looking good!


It's too early for the camera!! gotta get my make-up on!...



Now I'm all ready for the camera dad!!




I am the prettiest girl in the NICU!!! 



So this week has been so much better for us. Now we can focus on both of our kids in the same hospital and spend more time by their beds instead of driving between hospitals. Mia has become the big girl in the NICU. She weighs 3 pounds 14 ounces and needs no respiratory help. She is eating 30ml of food every 3 hours and is just sleeping, growing, and sometimes pooping (Miss Mia doesn't like dirty diapers so she thinks holding her poop in is better for her.. until she can't hold it any longer and has a day of massive blow outs all over her cloths, blankets, and isolette). Brynn is getting better slowly but surly. He is still on the ventilator but the doctors hope to get him off of it by the end of the month. Brynn is growing and getting stronger every day. He is up to 2 pounds 8 ounces and he is eating 21ml of food every 3 hours. And unlike his sister he has no problems blowing up his isolette. 

Mal and I are now into a great routine of getting up eating breakfast, going to the hospital, running errands, eating (as healthy as we can), and back to the hospital. Mal saw her doctor the other day and was given clearance to start working out and getting back into the swing of things. Simon was let go by the falcons the other day, but knew it was coming. He is happy to have the time to be here with the kids instead of having to focus on going back and forth between the two cities. He is unsure what is next for him but as long as he has the kiddos and Mal by his side he will be happy doing anything!

Thanks for all the love and prayers we have received!!!

THE FRASERS!!

  3. It is so good to hear that Brynn is thriving at OSU with Mia. We miss you guys, but I'm glad the kids are together and it is easier on you both too. Keep posting updates!

  4. Hey guys, The kids look great, Mia is so big and adorable!!! We miss seeing friendly familiar faces at Children's, but are so glad y'all don't have to split time between hospitals. Ian is doing great, 4 lbs now, in the C4 NICU and has the chubbiest cheeks and double chin. If you're watching the Memorial Tournament, check out the baby in the commercial for Nationwide Children's Hospital, that would be our Mr. Ian!

    Congrats once again on having everyone reunited, we've been praying for you and hoping all was well.
