Merry Christmas from the Bader Family

Jen finally was released from the hospital late last evening, around 7 PM. She was very happy to finally be leaving after nearly 3 weeks. She was able to spend some time with family last evening and today and was able to enjoy her holiday, although, sleeping through much of it. We stopped in this morning to wish Alex and Addie a Merry 1st Christmas. Of course, this was a very special Christmas for Jen and I as we truly were not expecting to be parents, yet. But instead we now are and our best Christmas presents ever were provided to us. I am attaching some photos of the little ones and their 1st Christmas wears. Also shown are the first presents Jen and I received from the little ones for Christmas.

Regarding on the latest stats on the babies. Alex is up to 15 mL (1/2 oz) for his feedings and his is gradually being removed from an IV. His weight is now back up to 4 lbs 4oz. He is doing very well and if all goes well he may be off of his IV and even out of the isolate and in a crib by the end of the week. Addie is still at 4 mL but is expected to be increased to 5 mL, tomorrow. she also continues to do quite well.

I hope all of you had an enjoyable and Merry Christmas this year, too. From Jennifer, Alex, Addie, Bradyn, Dakota and myself, Merry Christmas everyone.
