Good morning all!
Bree is doing awesome today and dun, dun, dun! She is over the two pound mark! Adam and I have been waiting to hear that for a while now. She's been hovering at the 1 lb 15 oz mark for a while (in true fashion of our family...she's a smart aleck already)...and we are so happy and proud that she is gaining weight and growing! She's doing great with her feeds, and we got to see her be given one yesterday. And yesterday she got to have her first taste of breastmilk. They put a few drops in her mouth and she wiggled around, made a face, and it dripped right out of her mouth. We could then see her sticking her little tongue in and out of her mouth. It was so cute!
This morning, Carrie Fay and I are going to see Miss Bree, and to take her one month photos. The nurse this morning said that I will get to hold her skin to skin too! I am sure Carrie Fay will take some beautiful photos...she always does. I am very excited to have these pictures taken...even though Bree's one month celebration is in a different place, and is a little bit earlier than we were expecting we still want to celebrate it as we celebrated Riley's...Carrie Fay does such beautiful work...here's a picture from Riley's one month shoot. We are going to try and duplicate this one with Bree as best we can...
Hope this finds everyone happy, healthy, and in love with life!

Here is a note I found on the Fargo Newspaper, you can probably identify with them!
At 24 weeks, a milestone in her pregnancy, her babies were given a steroid shot to help speed along their lung development. A few hours later, Margo had the babies via C-section.
One big delivery
In the delivery room were 32 doctors, nurses and other assistants. Each baby had a team of five people, plus Margo’s doctors and other assistants. Beginning at 2:47 p.m. and following one minute after each other, Taelyn Marie, Kade Matthew, Hoyt William and Avery Madeline were born.
The babies were incubated immediately and stabilized.
At birth, Taelyn weighed 1 pound, 5 ounces; Kade was 1 pound, 6 ounces; Hoyt was 1 pound, 10 ounces; and Avery weighed 1 pound, 4 ounces. Their skin was transparent, and thus started just some of the bumps and hurdles the Jensens would face.
“Right away it was really hard because we didn’t know what the outcome was,” Margo said. “It’s overwhelming.”
Lots of surgery
Since birth, three of the babies have had heart surgeries, and two have had intestine surgery. They all have had brain bleeds,
Kade still having issues
with bleeding.
“It hasn’t gotten worse, but it hasn’t gotten better, either,” Margo said.
“They’re so little, and stuff started happening. To see them cut open and stick tubes in them is hard,” Matt said. “There’s stress, but the support from everyone makes it feel like everything is going to be OK, even if something bad happens.”
A Caring Bridge site gives updates for family and friends, while Matt and Margo said they have read messages from people they don’t even know.
The site is at www.caringbridge.org/visit/margojensen.
I hope you had fun at your photo shoot today.... I am sure you will come up with some great shots for lil Bree..
So happy that Bree hit her 2lb mark!!
Can't wait to see the pictures
A wonderful milestone for Bree. What a nice way to celebrate. God Bless All of your family today with lots of happy moments.
You must be so proud of Bree, she's doing so well! Can't wait to see the pictures once you get them back, I'm sure they'll be just as beautiful as Riley's :)
