We came in today to find two perfect little Monkies sleeping, all swaddled and cozy. We took yesterday off bc we were at a cabin in Lake Arrowhead with Tom's family. It was nice to get away, take naps, play cards and spend an entire day and a half with Tommy. We have been at the hospital a lot lately and we needed a short break to rest. We missed the twins so much though and it was wonderful to see them today. I had my standing date with Gracie and got to hold her for an hour and a half! She was such a cuddle bug and still makes her chirping sounds .. Especially when she gets the hiccups. Tom got Austin today and they had a great time. He chirped a few times and slept really well. They aren't having as many Brady's and desats anymore which is wonderful!! Eventually they will grow out of them and we can move the feeding tube to their noses so we can start the sucking and swallowing reflexes. We should start that in the next few weeks. I'm so excited for them to move into a new stage.
Updates
Austin
He is up to 30 ml feedings now and weighs 3 lbs. 8 oz.! He is getting so big and his coloring is changing. The kids are starting to look more alike now which is fun.
Grace
She is up to 28 ml feedings and weighs 3 lbs. 4 oz!! She is catching up quickly to Austin and is looking much more baby like now. For a while there, we were worried that she would always look like a little raisin.
Tomorrow we will bring them clothes to wear so I will take pictures. :)
Much love,
Erica & Tom
