Getting Bigger!

Latest update: They are both taking all of their feedings by bottle (almost 2 ounces at a time). I attempt to breastfeed a couple of times a day, but their prematurity makes it hard for them to latch on and have the strength to suck productively. Kendall can finish her bottle in just a few minutes flat - she is amazing! She is also a great burper...not sure if she gets that from me or her dad! Ha!

Kendall continues to have episodes where her oxygen saturation percentage in her blood dips into the 80s, with periods of apnea. The general rule for discharge is that they need to go 5 consecutive days without having any of these episodes....unfortunately she had another one this afternoon, so it may still be a while before she is able to come home. Kaleb has been episode free for 4 days so if he makes it through tomorrow he will be able to come home on Monday (hope this does not jinx him)! Keep us in your prayers that we will be joined as a complete family at home in the near future!

Both Kendall and Kaleb are gaining weight!!! The picture below was taken a couple of days ago with both of them on the scale (their combined weight at the time was 9 lbs 11 ounces).
As of today, they now weigh:
Kendall - 5 lbs 2 ounces
Kaleb - 5 lbs 4 ounces
Total combined weight of 10 lbs 6 ounces!



One of the nurses loves to do "photo shoots" with our little models (thanks Megan!). Here they are snuggled up together!



This one looks like Kendall is going to yell at her brother (or bite his nose off)!
