Today marks the date of my fourth and final baby shower. My aunt Deb and cousin Courtney were hosting a shower for me with friends and family in Minnesota. The girls and I were supposed to be in Minnesota this week (the girls were still supposed to be in my belly of course). So, this morning started off with the girls being celebrated from afar. I, of course, was missing from the shower, but some friends and family still gathered for the occasion. I joined in for a short time via FaceTime and watched as gifts were opened. Just as with everything else that has happened over the past 5 days, it is very surreal to realize how things have changed in just a few short days.
Both girls continue to do well and make progress daily. Although they are still getting two cc's of milk every 3 hours, the girls have still been losing weight each day. We hope this will change very soon.
Today even Grandma Carol and Auntie Kim had the chance to hold Devyn for a while. What a lucky girl!
A going-away present for Grandma Carol and Auntie Kim.... being the first family members to hold baby Devyn.
While Devyn gets all the snuggle time, Kinley stays cozy in her bed. The nurses change the girls' positions during their "touch time" every 3 hours. They have these amazing mattresses that are easily molded to fit around their bodies. They can be squished and scrunched into just about any position.
The nurse thinks Kinley is going to be a thumb-sucker. She puts her hand up to her mouth like she wants to, but so far hasn't actually found her thumb. We tried giving her a pacifier today, but she wasn't interested. Kinley finished up with her jaundice lights today, so she doesn't need to wear her shades anymore. We think we may be able to hold her sometime tomorrow!
Kinley all cozy in bed.
