Everybody is doing just fine and following the "book" on what to expect with preemies born at 25 weeks and maybe even a bit better than expected. In fact, they are doing so well that I believe I am going to start just updating this blog every other day as not to bore you all to death:)Today was exciting though as Brian and I held Slade & Claire at the same time next to each other where the babies were able to hear one another and we were able to chat. This type of kangaroo care increases the bonding experience even more as we all snug in a little group. Now only if Ella could have been in the mix (she will be soon though when we get to hold two babies at the same time). All babies did well with holding today although both Slade and Claire kind of lost it when they were put back in their houses and Slade's heart rate reached a whopping 210, he was really mad!
Everyone is breathing well, Slade and Ella have both had a few A's & B's, but that is to be 
expected at this point. They are all eating well (E 29cc's, S26cc's & C30cc's) and digesting. Claire has a little ouchie on her neck that is healing well with a neosporin type medicine and all babies have diaper rash which is being treated with destin. Claire's heart murmur comes and goes and we are waiting to find out when the next scan will be to see if her PDA is closing up or not.

The others are growing as well and Slade is now 2lbs10oz and Ella 2lbs15oz. Grow Babies Grow!
Beautiful pictures - and great weights! :) It's going to be a wonderful day when you all can hold them all at the same time and get your first family picture. I still remember well our first time to hold all the girls together.
ReplyDeleteOh I know I can't wait!
ReplyDeleteYou guys should probably become polyamorous and bring on a 3rd partner to help with all of this. I suggest it be another guy so that there is an even balance of males and females in the house and so Brian has a golf partner. If this suggestion strikes you as "odd" or "creepy" or perhaps "highly inappropriate" just remember that it's really about what is best for the children.
