Bodily fluids... ew

Today was another average day in the NICU. The nurses got orders to push their temp levels down. So we jumped down another degree or so throughout the day. This seem to take its toll on Calvin again. He had a few minor spells, most of the time he came out of it on his own. I think we only stimulated him once to get his heart rate back up.

In the afternoon, Kim kangaroo cared with them together. The boys seemed to love it. They quickly feel asleep holding hands. It was nice and peaceful until Calvin spit up all over himself and Kim. We think it was mostly due to overeating because he got to nurse then got his full feed. He probably got more in the nursing session then we thought. Marcus got to experience a throw up earlier in the day. Lucky Kim was able to hand him a wash cloth to catch most of it so he didn't get too get covered in it.

Speaking of the bodily fluids, both boys are really starting to go potty regularly and they STINK! Plus they are quite massive when they do. We think the stink is from the vitamins they are getting or the occasional formula they take in overnight.
Calvin took his full feed overnight last night. During the day neither of them were able to finish a feed or even really come close. They have to start taking their full feeds regularly in order to get out of here. They were doing well when we were in the 20mLs, but with 34mLs they aren't finishing. This probably has to do with pushing their bodies more to hold temps too.

Aunt Audrey and Uncle Andy came by to say hi to us this morning. And we got to meet Uncle Kevin this afternoon. They still sleep a lot so they aren't great socializers yet.
