4 Weeks old and gaining weight!

JACE

LIAM

STELLA

The babies are 4 weeks old today and one thing I am excited about is that they are eating more and getting more fortifier and they have been gaining weight, and with weight gain comes lots of improvement, so we are on the right track!

Jace was on 4.0 liters of oxygen today at 35-39% He gained 65 grams which brings him up to 3lbs 4oz!  He is on 24 calories of the fortifier and drinking 31ml of milk every 3 hours, today Jace did skin to skin with Mommy for over an hour, we love our bonding time with each baby!

Liam was on 2 liters of oxygen at 21-23% so barely anything, I am hoping his lungs will get stronger and he can come off of it soon, they look SO much better with one more thing off there face and I think they start to do better once they get some stuff off cause they dont seem so annoyed...Him and his brother are in competition with there weights, he weighed in at 3lbs 5 oz and gained 40 grams. He is eating 30ml of milk every 3 hours with 24 calories of fortifier in it. Liam also got to do skin to skin with me today!

Stella is still on room air doing really good...She gained 50 grams which brings her to 3lbs 14oz! She is eating 37ml of food and they are adding 24 calories of fortifier to it. We practiced breast feeding again today, she drank 10ml in 5 minutes out of the bottle and they say breast feeding is harder, so we are working on it! =) We also did skin to skin!

I have really cute pictures but havent uploaded them yet, there coming! =) God Bless everyone!
