There has been no big change today. The boys continue to take the bottle really well. They don't spit up after it and they seem to like milk a lot. They are comfortable with it enough that they are doing cue based eating. If the boys wake up at diaper change and are looking to eat we will feed them, if not then they will just be tube fed. Which is really great because they don't have to expel energy being awake and eating. They are now uping their food intake by 2mL every 9 hours. So they are doing about 12mL now. Which is huge from the 4mL they started at just a day and half ago! The more food they take the less IV they need. We want to work on getting them completely off the IV, as this will help their growth too.

They did get moved to a new pod now in the NICU. This doesn't mean much, just a different area we visit when we go. They just were reassigning bed locations to make things work better for the nurses there. They are still listed as intensive and should be preemies tomorrow. The only reason they are still intensive is because the DR they saw this morning likes to keep patients there longer than any of the other doctors.

The boys got lots of visitors today! Anne and Lynne their favorite twins visited them and Crystal came by and checked them out. Thanks so much guys for the goodies you brought us! We really appreciate all the love.

Kim got discharged today. And we got set up at the Ronald McDonald house, but not before a little excitement. Marcus manage to leave the car headlights on... oops. Dad brain is already taking its toll on him. So Jaimie and Kim's dad came out and gave us a jump start.

The next couple of days we plan to try to figure out how to make the transition from the hospital to an off site location but still get lots of visit times in with the boys. The one big requirement for us to stay here is to be at the hospital for a minimum of six hours a day, which won't be a problem for us.

A lot of people have asked what they can do to help. We promise that a list is coming out soon and if you want to help feel free to pick anything from there. It would make a huge difference! As far as food goes- the house has us pretty set up with meals, plus our awesome friends have given us gift cards to eat at places around the area. Lunch/snack items to have at the hospital is probably the area we have least covered at the moment. So if you come out and want to pick something up, feel free. And we will eat about anything you all will!
