Six Weeks Old!

Monday, July 29

Devyn's picture says it all....

Today was a quiet and relaxing day in the NICU. Dad played in, and won, a golf tournament today. So, I helped with the care times and snuggled with both girls this evening. They have been handling their increased feedings very well and continue to gain weight. Kinley is now at 4 lbs. 6 oz. and Devyn weighs 5 lbs. 5 oz.

The girls had blood work done yesterday and it showed that they no longer need sodium. So they are back on a caffeine and breast milk diet again. Kinley's CPAP was turned to a lower setting today...so maybe, just maybe she'll be off of it by tomorrow.

Devyn getting her belly measured as part of her nighttime cares.

 
Devyn has been staying awake longer and enjoying her pacifier much more lately. These are important steps before she starts bottle feeding.
 
 
Kinley impressed me today by using her own strength to hold in her pacifier. She is definitely ready to start bottle feeding!
 

The girls like it dark whether they're sleeping or awake. Here Kinley is starting to wake up for her feeding.
