They are up to 45 mls a feeding now. Depending how they do on the bilirubin light, they may come off the light tomorrow. Both of them are keeping everything down with very little gas. They are giving them 25 mls with a bottle twice a day now. They are snuggling together in their bed and keeping their temperature up. Lacey and I ran to drop off socks and blankets to them last night. They are sleeping and growing and staying warm. Their last feeding was almost entirely breast milk. Marijo is a proud mom, knowing her milk is good for them. Lacey also brought over some lactation cookies for Marijo. They are delicious…and now I may need to start pumping.
Lewis’s room is coming together with the delivery of his new (recycled family) bed from Aunt Sonia and Uncle Dale. Thank goodness they kept it! The NWO references written into the frame to Scott Steiner and Lex Luger give me insight into Joseph and Scott’s childhood. The burn marks and cuts in the bed give me insight into Toni and Joe’s hard work at parenting.
I still don’t know how either of our parents turned out three of us each. I guess me and Marijo will find out soon.
