Ryan: 3lb 15oz 16.93in long. He is working on his bottle but is not quite caught up to his sister. He is getting better control but the most he has taken at one time is 9ml. What he doesn't eat himself is given to him through his feeding tube. He is up to 35ml every 3 hours around the clock. He got a bath today and a clean bed. He is off of skin control and on air control in his bed. This means he no longer has to wear a patch with a heat sensor under it to monitor his skin temperature. The best part of that is I CAN DRESS HIM! How exciting!!!!!

Tyler: 2lb 14oz 15.35in. long. He still gets all of his feedings through his tube. His tube is still in his mouth instead of his nose because he is on nasal cannula. I will be so glad when he gets off oxygen and we can move his tube to his nose. Then we can get some extra tape off his face and be able to see him better. We were able to do this the other day briefly for some pictures. He has been on and off of his CPAP but is currently on nasal cannula. They are now working on getting him off that too. He is getting fed 26ml every 3 hours around the clock.

Cuddle time

Emily: 3lb 11oz 16.14in long. She is working really well on her bottle and has taken several full bottles. We are allowed to feed her by bottle 4 times in a 24 hour period. She gets 35ml every 3 hours around the clock like her brother. She, like Ryan got to be switched to air control today so by now you know what that means!!!!!!!
