Another Good Day

I am so glad that there isn't much to tell you. The boys are doing so good and there aren't any major changes happening. I kind of like it that way. It means smooth sailing.

Aiden is up to 3 lbs. 10 1/2 oz. His feeds are up to 31 mL today. I was able to do his bottle feed this afternoon and he took 24 mL for me. He did super. They have to take 75% of their feed by bottle for 48 hours before they will move them up to 2 bottles per shift. So that is our goal for each of them right now.

Brock weighs 3 lbs. 3 oz. He is starting to gain again instead of lose weight. I just hope he continues that trend. Today I was also able to feed him his bottle. It was his first and he took 12 mL of his 27 mL total feed. So for his first time he did really well.

Collin weighs 3 lbs. 12 oz. He is getting close to his 4 lb. mark. That means he will probably be our first in an open crib. Once he hits 4 lbs., they will start putting a onesie on him and making sure he can regulate his body temperature on his own out in the open that long. It will be really nice to see him in a crib. Matt was able to do his bottle feeding today. He took 21 mL of his 32 mL feed. It looks like we are going to have a hungry bunch on our hands. They are doing pretty good. As we were leaving tonight Collin was having some reflux. They poor little guy was spitting up and had to have his mouth suctioned out. He was also dropping alot on his oxygen because of the reflux. Hopefully this was just a random moment for him. We will have to see how he does tomorrow.

Tomorrow is Kayla's 3rd birthday. I can't believe she is that old. She is growing up so fast and she is so very cute. Every day she does at least one or two things that we laugh at. She has a fun personality and she sure has spunk. She is such a joy in our home and it is sad to think that she is not my baby girl anymore. She is my big girl and the a big sister. Happy Birthday K. We love you.
