4 Weeks, 5 Days (GA: 32 Weeks)

The boys continue to do well.  Zeke is up to 27mL of milk at every feeding.  Gabe is staying pretty warm in his isolette so they want to put him back in an open crib.  Neither baby has had any recent As or Bs, but they do have frequent spells of blood oxygen desaturation.

The results from the lab came back on the material that Dr. Parker pulled out of Nanette's uterus last week.  It was remnants of the placenta.  For four weeks every doctor and nurse keep telling us that pieces of the placenta never get left in the uterus after a c-section.  It made sense to us since the uterus is right in the surgeon's hands and they can do a visual inspection before they close up.  After Dr. Parker saw Nanette last week he said, "It would be really unusual for them to leave placenta in a c-section, but it was the U after all!"  We thought that was pretty funny.  Regardless of the past, it's just nice to have Nanette starting to feel better this week.
