| Our favorite nurse, Sandy! |
Both Cooper and Kinley are doing well. Kinley has been steadily increasing her feeds this week and has done well. Tuesday, she gave us a little bit of a scare because she kept spitting up her food back into her feeding tube, but on Wednesday she had her favorite nurse (Sandy) back and has done much better since then. It truly amazes me that both babies do so much better when Sandy is our nurse. She knows them so well now, and knows just what they need when they start "misbehaving". Even our doctors commented on it and we all wish we could have her every day!
Tonight, Kinley will get her PICC line taken out and will be strictly on breast milk. She has done a great job gaining weight this week and last night weighed 2 pounds, 6 ounces. Kinley and I did some Kangaroo time today and she loved it! Her stats looked awesome the whole time she was on my chest and she usually sleeps really well after snuggling with Mommy! On Monday, they will run several labs on her to check things like electrolytes and hemoglobin. Until then, we are hoping she will continue to tolerate her feeds well and praying for a quiet weekend.
Cooper is doing great! He is maintaing his feedings and is just focusing on getting bigger! Today, he weighed 2 pounds, 14 ounces and they are very pleased with his progress! It won't be long before we have a 3 pound baby! For the most part, Copper is a laid back little boy like his older brother, but he does not like all of the tubes or the CPAP prongs in his nose. He has been known to pull out his feeding tube on multiple occasions, and has to have his hands held down when the nurses and respiratory therapists are working on his CPAP. Cooper also got to do some Kangaroo time with me this week and loved it as well! Feeling their tiny hands and feet against my neck and chest has quickly become one of my favorite things!
As always, thank you for your unceasing prayers. I know I say it every time, but we are so blessed and thankful for all of you!
