The Marsh girls are 40 days old today! It's hard to believe it has been that long already. Devyn's pressure on her oxygen machine was turned down a bit today. Hopefully she will be able to graduate to the CPAP mode like her sister soon.
In the "race" home from the NICU, Kinley seems to be winning in every area except for weight. Devyn is in the lead at exactly a full pound heavier than Kinley who weighs 4 lbs. 4 oz. Kinley is farther along in her breathing, being on the CPAP and generally being much more stable. Her oxygen rates don't need to be increased as often as her sister's. Kinley also shows more signs that she is ready for bottle and breastfeeding. She is wide awake around feeding times, and for longer periods of time in general. Additionally, she sucks on her pacifier for extended periods of time. So, if we can just get Kinley off of the CPAP, she'll be ready to try a bottle!
Kinley's enjoying her pacifier until it's time to eat.
Kinley is the calm, relaxed sister.
Although she looks quiet here.....Devyn is the feisty one!
Both girls need some assistance keeping the pacifier in their mouth,
