Today was another calm day in the NICU. I spent a majority of the day with the girls while Daddy was at work. Both girls continue to do fine, although their breathing was not as stable today. So, with the exception of changing diapers, checking temperatures, and their other normal checkups, the girls stayed snug in their beds to focus on breathing.

Tomorrow the girls will both undergo another echocardiogram to check the progress on their hearts. I have not received an update on when their head ultrasounds will be yet.
When Justin and I returned to the hospital tonight, the nurse let us know that both girls had again gained weight! Devyn has now returned to her birth weight of 3 lbs 3 oz. and Kinley surpassed her birth weight and is now at 2 lbs 13 oz. SO, she is the biggest gainer! Their breathing was more stable tonight as well. I hope that means that tomorrow will be another good day for breathing. Dad is very eager to hold Kinley, as he hasn't had the chance yet.
Staring contest....Kinley vs. Daddy
Kinley was wide awake for a while tonight during our visit. I tried to get a picture with her eyes wide open, but she wasn't cooperating.
