One Week Old

Babies are one week old (4.16.13)!  All have their IV's out and are in open cribs!  They are maintaining their temperatures outside the incubator things.  We have been introducing bottles the past few days.  Julie has been rockin' it from the beginning.  She drinks almost two bottles a day (35-40ml's), then has the rest of her feedings thru her NG tube.  The boys are more lazy.  They drink 5-10ml's thru a bottle and have the majority of the feeding still thru their NG tubes.  The suck, swallow, breath reflex usually doesn't come until around 34 weeks - so they are doing so great for how young they are.

 Mommy and Kash. 

 Jamie went home on Saturday.  She's doing well!  Got her staples out and now has steri-strips in place.  She had 22 staples.  Dang!  She's up walking around and resting at home now.  My mom is still living with her and helping out with dinners, kids, etc until she's back to semi-normal.

The staff at IMC is SO nice.  The night nurse, tech, and receptionist all made banners for each kid.  Super cute.
