Some great news today – Sophia ditched her oxygen! Both of the kids are doing really well today. Cameron’s still working on his calorie-boosted 25mL feedings. Sophia’s doing pretty well with her feedings (but still has a ways to go there). Now that Sophia made it past the oxygen hurdle, I’m guessing other “systems” will …
I’m back to 100% after a little stomach bug. So, I got to visit the kids today with Tanya. I only missed two visits, but it’s amazing seeing the differences in each of them. Their weights aren’t changing drastically each day, but they are definitely making big progress. When we got there, Sophia was completely …
We spent a big portion of our Thanksgiving day at the hospital. Why would we be anywhere else? I’m still fighting a stomach bug, so I stayed away from the NICU again today. Tanya got some serious cuddle time though and saw some great milestones. Cameron was awake for Tanya and really enjoyed their cuddle …
The twins are two weeks old today. I’m feeling a little sick today, so I stayed away from the NICU. Tanya still can’t drive (still recovering from her surgery), so I drove her to the hospital and hid far away from the NICU while she visited with them. Tanya was able to spend almost 5 …
The twins were doing great today. Cameron’s still gaining weight quickly. Sophia started back on her food, although she’s lost a little weight since yesterday. They both really enjoyed being held today. Most importantly, they did some serious posing for the camera. Here’s the fun! Bless you! Psssst….I’m cute… Sophia locked eyes with Tanya as …
The kids had a great day today. Tanya really needed some cuddle time with the kids and she got it. After Cameron learned he was going to get to spend an hour cuddled with Tanya, he had one thing to say… NO WAY!!!! Tanya can’t stop smiling when she’s holding them… Cameron’s feedings got ramped …
We just did a quick visit today with the twins. Today wasn’t their best day. Based on how they were doing, we decided to leave them in their playpens (mostly) uninterrupted. We did clean them up a little and change their diapers, but there wasn’t any cuddle time. Sophia took a nap during shift change …
Tanya’s dad and stepmother, Larry & Sandy, came to visit for the weekend. They met the twins this afternoon. We spent a couple hours with them and the twins. After they left, Tanya & I spent the rest of the day in the NICU with the twins. Finger holds never get old. Tanya looked at …
Today was the twins’ first full day in the Level 2 NICU. I was right in my initial impression of Level 2 – lots of crying. Our twins do get fussy when they need attention, but they’re not really loud about it yet. They’ll learn soon enough. Over the last couple days when Tanya picks …
Just in case the doctors decided to say that our kids could go home today (that didn’t happen), the nursery is ready to go. The drawers are full of all kinds of cute and loads of baby-related things I didn’t even know existed. For now, the chair gets some good use by Tanya, but that’s …
