6 week update

So I hope everyone had a wonderful Labor Day!

I did by going to see my babies in the NICU! They are doing as well as they could be.

Brayden:

They found another infection but they believe it could be that one of his lines could have been contaminated with the stuff that is on everyone's skin so it is a wait and see.

Brayden is now at 2lbs 5oz! Yay! He is eating 3cc's every 3 hours and no residuals (no feedings coming back up)

He got his eyes checked and so far no retinopathy of prematurity (ROP)...next check in 2 weeks...another YAY!

His nasal cannula fluid is at 1 1/2 liters...

He still has apnea, breathing issues and a heart murmur but not worried about that as of yet

Aiden:

Aiden is now at 3lbs 4oz! He is taking in 27cc's of breast milk with a tiny bit of residual.

He also did something amazing! He was laying his head facing the left side on his belly and the next thing I know he turned his head to face the right side! I was in shock! I went to ask the nurse when he started to do that but she was not one of our normal nurses so she didn't know...I was so proud!

Also he at 1/4 liter for his nasal cannula so the next step down would be to not be on the cannula anymore...can't wait! Oh and he is growing out of the caffeine that they are giving him for apnea and breathing which they are letting him grow out of bc it is helping him alarm less.

Finally his eyes are normal as well so next check is in 2 weeks :)

So overall a good update! I still proceed with caution with my feelings but it is getting easier...

Now an update on my cutie Caleb...

He is finally sleeping on his own again! Yay! My husband and i can finally get some quality sleep! Well he can also get quality sleep as well!

In other news, we found a house we love and our offer was accepted! Woohoo! We had been looking for some time now...please pray for us that they will not accept someone else's offer...we really need this house now that we have twins...

Thank you everyone! Until next time!
