Special day for Mimi

Today was really fun.. my mom got to come and see the kids and held Grace for more than an hour. She was all swaddled and sweet and did really well. She only had one brady and recovered quickly. I held Austin for an hour and a half and he crashed although he had a few desats and one brady during our time together. He recovered but it still stressed me out. They had follow up head ultrasounds today and they were normal, yay!
Updates
Austin
He is doing well on his new feeds of 34 ml with no residuals. He was super aware today with open eyes, looking around a ton and looked very cute in his monkey onsie. Great news is that he is 4 lb. 5oz!!! Huge growth spurt apparently.. very exciting!

Grace
She is doing great as well with her new feedings of 32ml. She was super sleepy today and just crashed with Mimi. It was a special day for them, tomorrow will be a date with Austin. :) Grace now weighs 3 lb. 13 oz.and her face is filling out finally.

We received two of the most adorable prayer blankets from a sweet family member so we took them to the hospital today and put them on top of the incubators. We are so thankful for the love and support of family and these blankets will be cherished always!

Tom went back to work today and we missed him so much today. It will be really tough to be away from the kids and I am feeling bad for him. Lots of pictures were taken and I will post tomorrow.

Much love to you all,
Erica and Tom
