10-22-10 - 3 WEEKS OLD TODAY!

I can't believe our babies are 3 weeks old today (gestational age is 36 weeks 5 days).  Time has gone by so fast - at it is a blessing that we have one home already.  Now we are anxiously awaiting the time to bring Shea home!!  We have been spending our days with Shea and taking Wes with us.  She started the day off well with drinking all but 10 ml of her bottle by mouth.  The next one she only drank about 10 and the 8 p.m. feeding she drank about 23 ml.  She has to get to 80% of her 4 attempts by mouth before she will progress to 5 tries by mouth.  On a positive note she is up to 4 lbs 5 oz's.  Her weight is doing great and we are just waiting for her to catch on to feeding so we can bring her home!!

Wes hung out with mom tonight while dad went back for Shea's 8 pm feeding.  Here are some picks from our time together :)





Wes's first night at home went well (as did his 2nd).  We were a little more nervous than he was I think.  We got up with every little noise on the monitor.  He only got up when it was time to eat (which we had to wake him for - every 4 hours).  He did not do anything in his diaper besides pee all night, so I am sure you can imagine what happened when we went to visit Shea.  :)  Here are the pictures to document his first blow out.
