Please say a prayer for the family of a little 9 month old angel, Bella, who went to be with God this past Friday. She was a sweet little girl born at 22 weeks and 4 days, and after she fought so hard to survive, she went to be with God on her 9 month birthday. She spent all of her too-short 9 month life in the NICU, but I know she has changed the hearts of those who knew and loved her, forever. Pray for her mommy, daddy, and big brother- Telisha, Chris, and Dylan.
Psalm 34:18 (New Living Translation)
The Lord is close to the brokenhearted; he rescues those whose spirits are crushed.
Psalm 147:3 (New Living Translation)
He heals the brokenhearted, and bandages their wounds.

Happy Valentine's Day, to Me! :)
I had such a sweet Valentine's Day!
Chris, in usual-Chris-fashion, couldn't wait to tell me what he got me... so he told me Friday night. He got me a spa day gift certificate!!! And if that wasn't good enough, he even thought to get my best friend's husband in on it... so she got one too, and we get to go together!!! So excited!!! And, if that wasn't cool enough, Chris also won another spa gift certificate from a sports talk radio show he listens to at lunch everyday... So I get to enjoy 2 (TWO) spa days!!! SAAAWWWEEETT! (sweet) I think the spa-day-this-mommy-could-use-some-pampering-gods were looking out for me this past week ;). I am so excited!!! It think I'm gonna go for a body massage/pedicure combo- I'll let ya know in a blog post on that one once we have our big day. One gift certificate is for A Moment's Peace, and the other is for Blue River Canyon. I am so exited!!! (Did I say that yet?) I think Chris may have even been more excited than me, especially about the one he won on the radio!
But, perhaps even better than the surprise of 2 spa days... is that Chris and the boys' came to surprise me at work today :). Chris got the boys all dressed up in matching shirts and jeans, and he even put on a matching striped shirt and jeans himself :). Too cute that he thought to do that. Each of my 3 boys brought me a very pretty rose and a very sweet card. All of them told me I was their favorite girl in the world... making me the luckiest girl in the world! :) Then we got to experience the fine dining of the Vanderbilt Children's Hospital food court for a very romantic dinner. I couldn't have asked for a better date with better dates :)

Happy Birthday Isaac and Eli
So this post is a little late, but, being late is a strength of mine... so I'm sure none of you that really know me are suprised by this ;).
Anyway, here are the boys' stats from their 1 year check-up from today:
Isaac
Height: 28 1/2" (13%)
Weight: 23lbs 4oz (58%)
Head Cicumference: 18 1/2" (69%)
Eli
Height: 25" (<3%)
Weight: 16lbs 4oz (0.09%)
Head Circumference: 16 1/2" (0.02%)
Also, over the past couple of weeks, both boys have been evaluated by physical therapists, and we will be working with them weekly to help the boys catch-up with developemental milestones. Isaac's evaluation showed him ranging from anywhere from 7-9 months old. The low end was based on the fact that he isn't quite crawling yet. Eli ranged anywhere from 1-5 (or 6, can't remember for sure) months on the scale. His low end has to do with tummy time- he gets on his belly and thinks it's time to sleep, so we've gotta work on him wanting to play on his belly and bear weight on his arms in that position. I try really hard to not let myself get too discouraged about these delays. The physical therapist for Isaac said he's pretty much on track for his adjusted age- as if he had been born around his May 1st due date- so that is good. And Eli's physical therapist said she was actually suprised that he's doing as well as he is, given his extensive medical history. And that there is no reason for us to worry about them both not catching up- they both show signs that they want to grow, move, develop... they just need time and a little extra work. So starting in March, we will go to physical therapy for an hour every week. (They will each have their own therapist that they will work with individually for that hour, in the same room, so I can be with both of them. I don't have to stay for 2 hrs, or take them at different times/days. Thankful for that!) They are expecting the boys to need it at that once-weekly rate till they are walking. They estimate that to be 3-6 months for Isaac and about a year for Eli.
General Health Update, and other Fun Facts:
Isaac
Like I've posted before, Isaac has been "cleared" or "graduated" from all of the doctors that were origianlly following him when he left the NICU. The only follow-up appointment he has is for sometime this Spring or Summer with the eye doctor. They just want to do one more check to verify his eyes are ok. So far, all his other eye exams have been fine. Other than going to see our pediatrician for regular check-ups (and of course tagging along with Eli to his doctor visits), he's a free man! We do have a teacher from TEIS that comes once a week to the house, and like I said above, he will be starting once-weekly PT- these are both to hopefully help him catch-up with development by age 2-3 years old. He takes 4 bottles a day, and purreed baby foods 3 times a day. (And if we'd let him have more, he'd take it!) It's hard to tell what his favorites are, because, well, he likes everything... He has 2 little teeth on the bottom, and is starting to cut one on the top. I think it's time for me to try some finger foods. We've experiemented some with a sippy cup with whole milk, but he usually just likes to wave it around like a toy. He does drink it some, but we need to work more on that. He does seem to spit up quite a bit, and is usually sporting a bib over his t-shirt of the day. He goes to bed between 8:00-9:00pm, and wakes up around 8:00am. He usually takes 2 really good naps everyday- morning and afternoon- anywhere from 1-2 hours. He is a little roly-poly. I literally turn my head for 2 seconds and he's on the other side of the room. His favorite toys are things that aren't actually toys- TV remotes, cell phones, Eli's O2 cord... but he does also love balls and anything that lights up. He likes books too- Especially the farm animal one that makes the animal noises. He also loves the jumperoo- goes crazy in that thing! He would rather stand than sit, and sometimes gets upset with me if I make him sit on his bottom. He's my silly man for sure. Very vocal and loud when it comes to making random noises- like growling and shrieking noises- kind of like a pterodactyl... He makes the "ba," ga," and "da" sounds. He goes "mmmmm" sometimes, but no "mama" yet. He is very happy and a total flirt. He gets a lot of attention whever he goes, because he's always got a smile to share. But he also doesn't have any problem letting you know when he doesn't like something- like the other night when I shared a little bite of chocolate ice cream with him, and he didn't like it that I wasn't continuing to share it :). He's usually the center of attention, and totally fine with that. He likes for everyone in the room to be paying attention to him. Silly boy. He loves his mama :), and usually protests if I walk out of the room (even if he's in dada's lap). Don't get me wrong, he loves his Daddy, too, but he's a Mama's boy so far. I'll take it :). He has to be rocked to sleep, and I dont' mind it :). He loves for me to sing to him, and his favorite song is one I made up when he was just a tiny little man still in the NICU. I sing it so much, that my family and friends actually know most of the song too, and sometimes I forget it's not actually a "real" song...

Eli
Eli is still on oxygen 24/7, on about 1/8th of a Liter (125cc's). Still using the g-tube for formula feeds during the day, and a contiuous feed by a pump at night. He eats pureed baby foods by mouth ususally 2 times a day. This man loves his veggies- especially green beans! Dr's visits are getting a little less frequent. Lung Clinic every 6-8 weeks to monitor O2. Still not sure when he'll be off the O2- maybe, just maybe, this summer. But we'll see. We visit the plastic surgery clinic and an orthodist for helmet adjustment every 5-6 weeks. Visits to the eye, liver, orthopedic, and cardiac clinics come about every 6 months or so for check-ups. He sees the TEIS teacher in our home weekly, and will be in PT weekly, too- same goal as to hopefully have him caught-up with development by age 2-3 years. Eli goes to bed between 9:00-10:00pm, and wakes up around 8:00am. We've noticed recently that he sneeks in a little cat nap around 6:00-6:30pm- I think it's so he can stay up later and have mama and daddy all to himself once brother Isaac goes to bed. And he's just so darn sweet that we let him do it :). He is getting better about taking a couple of longer naps during the day, but for the longest time he just took little cat naps all throughout the day- anywhere from 15-45 min. But, he's finally starting to catch on to the idea of longer naps. People think Eli is so quiet, but at home and in the car, he's my chatty one. He's always telling me "ga ga ga" and "da da da" and "gee gee gee..." He also loves his tounge- loves to stick it out, and loves to rattle it on his lips (what's that called?)... I think he just likes the noise it makes, and the fact that it makes us laugh. Speaking of laughs, he has the best belly laugh and giggle of any baby around. It's too funny, the laugh that comes from that little man! Eli loves his paci- he's not obsessed with it like he used to be, but I would say it's still his favorite comfort item. Chris bought him a little light-up, spinny, wand toy, and he loves it! He stares at it then tires to fit the huge globe in his mouth. He loves little balls and plastic chain link toys that he can wave around and clink together. He used to fuss a little bit when he got sleepy to let you know to just put him down and he would put himself to sleep, but now he's starting to fuss a little for you to pick him up and cuddle him. I don't mind :). He's more of my one-on-one man. I think he gets overwhelmed in big crowds most of the time, but he will laugh and giggle and talk to whoever is holding him and playing with him. He's very laid back the majority of the time. I have to make more of a conscious effort to play with him, check on him, etc... not because I don't love him equally to Isaac, but just because he's just so content most of the time. He entertains himself, and he's so patient when I need to do something for Isaac. (Unlike Isaac, my "squeeky wheel" who always makes sure I'm paying attention to him :)...) If Eli cries it's a real cry, and you know he truly needs something or that something is wrong. Eli likes it when I sing to him- our song is "You are my Sunshine," and we also like to change the words to "Old McDonald" to "Old McGannon" and "Eli-Eli-O" :).
I am so blessed to have these 2 handsome, little gentlemen in my life. And even though it's only been a year... I really can hardly remember life before them. Can't wait to see what the next year brings! Happy Birthday to my 2 sweet boys :).

Hope you enjoyed our singing! (We know we are really good. You don't have to tell us.)

2011, A New Year
2010 is over. What a year! (The following is a small reflection of my 2010...)
I got pregnant...Whoopsie! (ok, that was 2009, but still...)
Found out it was TWINS! OH MY! (again, really in 2009...)
Decide to deliver them both early...
Boys are born!!! Welcome to the world 2 lb Isaac Franklin and 1 lb Eli Merritt!
5 month NICU roller coaster!!!...!!!...!!!...!!!...!!!
Boys come home June 1st and July 1st!!! Praise the Lord!
Figuring out life with twins one feeding or diaper change at a time...
Still trying to figure out how to be a mommy to 2 babies at once. Sometimes it's really easy. Sometimes not so much...
Chris and I have been talking the past couple of days about the past year, and we have trouble really summing it up or putting it into words. Sometimes I am tempted to say things like, "Ugh, Goodbye 2010. You were awful. Worst. Year. Ever." But I can't really let myself think that or feel that way, because when it's all said and done, I have exactly what I begged God for at times (and more, really). 2 little boys. They are alive. Getting healthier everyday. (And there is light at the end of the tunnel... now we even get to venture out into the regular, real world sometimes! Like normal families!)
I can't lie. Most of 2010 was very, very stressful for us. Really. I mean it started out with finding out that "something is wrong with Baby B, and that he might not make it." Like I said, not the best start to a new year...
And here we are a year later. Here's that sweet "Baby B" just a few days ago (pictured below), with that sweet smile of his that just melts my heart and fills me with joy every time I see it. And you should hear him giggle! Eli has given us many scares in 2010. As I've shared before, we were told "He's very sick. We don't know what else to do for him...." during his 5 months in the NICU. I was usually pretty strong while I was in the NICU visiting him and Isaac, but then I would usually cry the entire way home after leaving him. Sometimes I was literally begging God, "Please, don't take him. Please heal my baby." Those were the only words I could muster, and I just repeated them countless times. And sometimes I didn't know if that was God's plan, so I tried to prepare myself that maybe God was going to take him to heaven. I tried to be really brave and tell myself, "It would be okay, that would be the very best place, because Eli would be with God." I tried to tell God I would be ok if that's what His plan was. I didn't know what was going to happen... And here we are, we made it through that year... thanks to God's strength and patience He's given us. Everything we've been through, and are going through, and may go through with him... none of it matters. Here we are starting 2011... He's alive, and I get to love him everyday. That's all that matters.
I got pregnant...Whoopsie! (ok, that was 2009, but still...)
Found out it was TWINS! OH MY! (again, really in 2009...)
One of them is sick... (What a great start to 2010... ugh...)
Decide to deliver them both early...

Managing usually multiple doctor appointments each week... (Only missed 1, and showed up for 1 that we didn't actually have...)

Everything we've been through, and are going through, and may go through with him... none of it matters. Here we are starting 2011... He's alive, and I get to love him everyday. That's all that matters.
And here is his precious, silly brother. The baby that sacrificed a 3rd trimester in a safe, warm womb, to enter the world 3 months early... because mommy and daddy said, "We need to try to save your brother." Our prayer for Isaac a year ago was that he wouldn't suffer from having to be born early. He had his share of bumps during his 4 months in the NICU, but, when we tell people today that he weighed a little over 2 lbs at birth and spent 4 months in the NICU, they don't believe us. He's "graduated" from all the doctor's and clinics that originally wanted to follow him. He's healthy. He doesn't need to be seen or checked by them. What a blessing! That is an answered prayer, right in my face! He weighs over 21 lbs and has an even bigger personality! Isaac loves life and everyone he meets, and is just happy to be here! Do you need a smile, cause Isaac's got one for you!
God said "yes" to our prayers of 2010. I want to live a life that says, "thank you." My blessings far outweigh my pain, and my joy far out measures my sorrow. It sounds cliche I know, but we are truly blessed more than we deserve. Sometimes I struggle with why God seems to have said, "yes" to us, and others it seems He's saying "no" or "not in the way you are asking." There are many others all around me who had much rougher years than we did. I wish I could take away their pain. But I know from my own pain I've experienced, that you can't take it away. But bringing food, and just little reminders to say, "I'm thinking about you and I love you" can help. So I hope to do that for others in need this year... like it was done countless times for us in 2010.
So in conclusion, Chris and I decided that 2010 was the hardest, best year of our lives. We are more compassionate people for having gone through it. And we have two of the cutest little guys around to show for it :). Praise God!
My prayer for you for 2011:
Ephesians 3: 16-21:
Ephesians 3: 16-21:
"I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen. "

Boys' 1st Christmas
We had a great first Christmas with the boys, of course! We spent Christmas Eve with my family and stayed the night at my parents' house. Then woke up and went to Murfreesboro to be with Chris' family on Christmas Day. Sadly, we didn't get to take the boys with us to Chris' family gathering, because they were both seeming "under-the-weather" with a cold we'd all passed around to each other that week. So they spent the day with "Didi and Poppo" and Chris and I went to the Gannon Family Christmas sans twins :(.
Despite our attempts to tell family to not buy the boys anything because they are too young to even understand the concept of gifts and holidays anyway... they received piles of toys and clothes!
I am learning that I'm not such a great photographer in the sense that I don't do well with actually taking pictures... I want to really be in the moment and see with my own eyes, not through the camera. And I want to hold, and tickle, and play with my boys... not have my hands occupied with a camera. But, then when I go back and look through my pictures a few days later, I'm always upset I didn't take more. I just need a personal photographer to accompany us at special occasions... But anyway, I did manage to get a few pics, which I will of course share with you below, so you can share in some of our excitement.
Poppo reading Charlie Brown's Christmas to Isaac:
Eli and Charlie Brown... (By now you've probably figured out we had a thing for the Peanuts this Christmas... We can't help it... Our sweet little Eli kinda looks like Charlie Brown to us! But I don't think Charlie Brown ever had a cool blue helmet...)
Didi and Cowboy Isaac...
Isaac, ready for Christmas Eve dinner...

Poppo reading Charlie Brown's Christmas to Isaac:
My brother bought the boys stuffed rats from IKEA. Gross! But the boys loved them of course!
Eli going through his stocking, showing you his new Snoopy plate...
Eli with his laughing monkey from Poppo:
Eli and Poppo... Opening so many presents can make a little guy sleepy!
Boys and some of their STUFF! Oh my!
Isaac, ready for Christmas Eve dinner...
Isaac loved his new Santa cup! He was just wondering where the milk was...
"Ralphie!" We heard many times this Christmas season how much Isaac looks like Ralphie from A Christmas Story. We couldn't resist putting some of Poppo's glasses on him for a picture! Too funny! Here he is eating one of the wise men from the Fisher Price Nativity sceen my mom bought them...
We hope each of you had a wonderful holiday season as well! Now I'm off to clean out their closet to make room for the new stuff... and find a new, bigger toy box to hold all their new toys! (And their 1st Birthday is just around the corner! OH MY!)
