N&C Update #2


(Caleb)


(Nolan)

On Friday night, Caleb graduated to a bassinet too! They are both doing very well with their body temperature regulation, so that is great news. They are also both continuing to gain weight - Caleb is weighing in at 4 lbs 15 oz and Nolan has broken the 5 lb mark coming in at 5lbs 3 oz.

The next big milestone we need to meet is getting them to eat all 8 of their meals without the feeding tube. Yesterday, they were averaging 3-4 without the tube. They are starting to let us know when they are hungry, so that is a step in the right direction as well.

The docs are reluctant to give any estimates as to their discharge date since it is so hard to predict. We're probably a few weeks away...
