We hit a milestone today, both Aiden and Will now weigh at least 5 pounds (Aiden is 5 lbs 1 oz and Will is 5 lbs exactly)! We continue to do the preemie shuffle, couple steps forward then one step back. We have made some progress on feedings, enough that the doctors increased feedings by mouth from 2-3 to 3-4 today! We did 3 in a row complete feedings but then both the boys decided today that they are just tired and don't want to finish some. We are told this is typical for preemies, so we will continue to be patient and wait for them to grow stronger.
Boys are still having the "bradi" episodes, which means they stop breathing and turn quickly into little blue babies. Aiden had a bradi yesterday and Will today. These episodes even fluster the nurses, so we are thankful they are there to quickly react! Apparently Will had all the nurses in the pod at his bedside today when he decided to bradi. Stephen continues to explain to the boys that there are better ways to become a ladies man! So pray they grow out of this preemie problem quickly because according to our great nurse, Scarlett, it is an automatic "5 more days stay in the slammer" from the last bradi no matter how well they are feeding.
Today we decided to have a little photo shoot so we could send birthday wishes to our Aunt Michelle! Here are a few pics in our cute coordinating outfits!
