Tuckered Out...

Well Miss Ella decided that the whole room air thing wasn't the right thing for her right now and was put back on her cannula late last night. She just had a few too many heartrate drops and they decided it was early and she didn't need to be pushed quite yet. Otherwise she is doing great and finished her entire bottle today!

Slade is breathing really well on his cannula and we are so happy he's enjoying it! He did not however enjoy his feeding today with the specialist and they've decided to stop his bottle feeding until he is off his cannula. They figure his trouble is due to his acid reflux and the stress of swallowing just adds to the pain and makes it too hard to breathe. But 33 weeks was really early to start feeding anyways so he will try again in a week or so.

Claire continues to breathe perfectly off of her cannula and its great to see her full face once again today. She ate half of her bottle and is handling it well, just has trouble staying awake for the whole thing. Sleepy girl:)

So all in all, still doing great, even if our babies are tuckering out a bit. We have high hopes of getting to try bathing them this weekend and will post a lot of pics if it happens!

Here are the babies in their crib with a blanket up to block out the sunlight...

  1. I absolutely love this picture! I am so glad to hear that things are going well with them. Alexander liked to sleep through his feedings also while he was in the NICU and his nasal cannula didn't come off until he was at 34 weeks.

  2. I wish I could shrink into a baby and sleep in that little crib.

    I also wish I had a friend named Noo Noo. She would always have fresh strawberries and would live in the fog in the mountains. I'd only see her when the fog descended to my little home.

  3. Dylan you are a strange chicken, but I agree its nice to have a friend named NooNoo:)

    The crib is funny as when they come home, babies have to sleep on their backs with no blankets/pillows in the crib. However at the NICU they are surrounded by comfort!
