D for departure???

Today we got moved to a new Pod again! We are in D, like D for Departure :) At least we hope soon...We really don't know when, but that's the running joke there -when you move to D you are getting ready to go and if you have to move to E (which is currently not even being used cause there not enough kids) you are exiting...

The boys are really impressing us everyday. They gained weight last night, they are pretty much back to birth weight now. So they are showing weight gain which is what we want. We also really took their condo temps down a lot today. We did more than a degree today, which seems small put considering they were knocking it down by .1 the other days this is pretty big. However we saw the results of such dramatic change on them. They were very sluggish today, they were not interested in doing much but sleeping. They didn't finish a single bottle today which has not been the case this whole time, they had been bottle drinking champs.

We tried to nurse in the morning and the evening, G has the idea down just loses interest after 10-15 minutes. While C has not done as well. But we are still just trying to practice the idea of nursing, so we are okay with this for now. Every time C has tried he clearly has been tired.

They are also at the max feed level for 34mL. They will stay at this level most likely until they leave unless they have a dramatic weight gain.

They test the bilirubin levels and they continue to go down, so I guess C problems are effecting him too much. They said they will probably only run one more test and then be done with that. We really are knocking things down one at a time.

 At this point we are pretty much doing all the caring during the day. We take the temps, change the diapers, decide what feeding method they will have, and getting them in and out of the condos. The nurses are just their to chart their information. Its been nice to know that we will know what to do when they come home.

G looking crazy in his too big hat! Poor kiddo doesn't have a big enough head yet...
