The girls had another great day. I got to hold both of them for over a hour each, and they did awesome. They both just cuddled right in. It is amazing how much bigger and stronger they get every day. The nurse who took care of them today said she couldn't believe how much bigger they were since Thursday when she had last taken care of them.
They are doing great with their feedings and should be able to be off the TPN and lipids in the next couple of days. Yay! Their breathing gets stronger and less labored every day. The doctor today said he was very pleased with their progress and that a lot of 28 weekers have significant medical issues and that we are very blessed with our girls' health and progress. We are so thankful too and so thankful for all the prayers that are being prayed for our girls.
They are getting really cute and starting to look more like term babies. I can't wait to hold them together so that I can see how much alike they really look.
Mary continues to be the feisty one who likes to kick against her wires and move around a lot. She has a surprisingly loud cry when she gets mad too!
Vivian is a lot calmer and loves to just cuddle in and sleep. She has a very soft squeak when she is not happy with something its adorable.
The two pictures are of Mary. Its hard to get a lot of good pictures because they need a dim and quiet environment to grow so we don't like to turn on bright lights often. I'm sure we will make up for it when they get bigger;) The other picture is of Kyle holding Vivian for the first time!
Thanks for creating a blog; it is nice to receive updates and see pictures. The girls are sooo precious!!! You have all been in my thoughts and prayers!!!
