Both twins have officially doubled their birth weights. Gabe is 6lb even and Zeke is 5 lbs even. They have been doing very well in their breastfeeding. Gabe got 54mL in one feeding this morning---which is more than what they give him by tube. So he did not need any milk by tube for that feeding. If I haven't mentioned it before, they get fed every three hours.
We also found out this week that Gabe is not getting regular ultrasounds. They discussed the possibility of getting an MRI right before he gets discharged, but the doctor admitted that this would not change his care management. They were only going to do an MRI because they thought we (his parents) wanted one. It's so interesting the way this medical profession works.
Both twins got their first baths today:
They are June and Charlottes birth weight now! Exactly! But our girls were that weight at 37 weeks...so it looks like your boys are going to beat them, just like I said.
ReplyDeleteThey are so cute. I can't wait to hold and smoosh them.
They are adorable Nanette! Hang in there!
