Wednesday,, Day 37

The last 5 days have been great. The girls have been doing really well. Ben, of course, held both girls this past weekend. I was able to hold Abby for the first time yesterday as well. It was wonderful. Abby is so sweet and seems to just love being held. Her sats and heart rate were great the whole time. She made the cutest little cries when she was being prepared to come out of her glass mansion. It's somewhat sad when she cried, but it's also adorable at the same time. She really does sound like a little kitten. Now that they seem more stable we should be able to hold them more often. The rule is every other day to give them time to recover in between.

The girls are both being feed and seem to be tolerating it well. They are both still on CPAP's at good oxygen levels - between room air and 30%. Abby even had a little "bath" today - mostly a sponge bath. They both desat occassionally and Natalie has a few episodes of apnea, but otherwise is doing well.

Their weight as of last night:
Abby - 848g
Natalie - 459g
