We have had a great weekend. Thursday and Friday Poppy visited. Then Nana and Mema arrived Friday night and have visited for several hours on Saturday and Sunday (and will again on Monday). Grandpa and Ya-Yai also came on Saturday. It's been a grandparents weekend! Mommy and Daddy have barely held the girls:-)
Everything continues to go well. They raised the volume of their feeds a little. Abby is receiving 42cc and Natalie 34cc. We are also still working on breastfeeding which is going quite well. Today Abby took 20cc and Natalie a whooping 26cc! It's actually somewhat unusual for preemies to learn to breastfeed, especially 26 week old preemies. But, I think my girls are going to figure it out! Mommy is getting the hang of it either. Note to men: it's not as easy as it looks! But, we are figuring it out. One of the Lactation Consultants, Cathy, also comes to DRH, and she's wonderful. I'm quite happy it's working out as bottle feeding and pumping would be a chore.

Also, thanks to Tamara and Carolina for visiting the babies and bringing such lovely gifts. As always, Tamara has great taste and brought a Peter Rabbit plate, cup and bank. Little did she know my mom had already started collecting Peter Rabbit for the girls!
