The boys were one week old yesterday and they are doing so well. They are all off of their I.V.'s and Oxygen. Levi is now 3 lbs. and continues to gain. Will is back at his birth weight and Max is just a few ounces shy of his birth weight. Since they were taken off of their I.V's they said they may not gain for a few days and could even lose a little again. They all took bottles last night and again this morning. Of course they got too tired to finish them, but they each took a good amount which is a big step. We're hoping the "nipple fairy" comes very soon. (Nipple fairy is what the nurses in special care refer to when all of a sudden a baby takes an entire bottle.)
Last night when we arrived for the 8:00 p.m. feeding the nurse had Will on the scale. He was naked and screaming. I leaned over the back of his head and said it's ok, mommy is here. He looked up at me and stopped crying. He did the same thing to Dale. Then when Max and Levi were being weighed the same thing happened. This was a moment when I truly first felt like a mommy.
Will (His oxygen tube was taken out today! Yeah!)
Max
Levi
We finally got a group photo! (In order Will, Max & Levi)
Dale's first time changing a diaper. And it was a stinky one!
