A huge milestone today! =)

Jace

(he was on his side while I was here so I couldnt get any straight on shots)

Liam

(Wide awake! =))

Stella

(in her bow Auntie Bre gave her) 

Today was another good day! Rick and I went on a date last night and then came back to the motorhome...For those of you that didnt know The DeGraafs let us borrow there motor home (it has been a huge blessing!) and we are staying in a RV park here in Fresno, its 7 miles from the hospital so A LOT nicer than 65 miles from Pixley! So this morning we headed over to the hospital...

Jace always has a huge gain then loses some after, he lost 15 grams bringing him to 3lbs 4oz. He is at 31ml of food still and the 24 calories of fortifier. He got to do skin to skin with Dad today for a long time! He did really well, his oxygen is still 4.0 liters @ around 33%. Jace and Liam are improving but still have the shallow breathing, I am guessing thats why Stella is gaining so much faster cause her breathing is so much easier for her...?

Liam gained a huge amount, 85grams bringing him to 3lbs 9oz! Hes also still eating 32ml of food with the 24 calories of fortifier. Hes at 2 liters of oxygen @21% for most the day so he still needs a little bit of help...Liam got to do skin to skin with Mom today!

Stella is the huge milestone I was talking about, one of the criterias they have to meet before coming home is being over 4 pounds, Stella gained 30 grams today bringing her up to 4lbs even!!! She is still at 37ml of food and 24 calories of fortifier. Still breathing at room air really nicely. Stella got to do skin to skin with Dad today too! She also tried breast feeding with Mom again just to practice, shes not quite ready, I think shes used to just getting fed and not having to try for it! =)
