Almost Home....November 9th

Ok so it has been a couple days since I have posted, the boys got there feeding tubes out and are eating on there own now!...because it takes so much energy for them to do that they havent gained too much weight...Not much has changed other than waiting for them to come home...every day is that much closer!

Jace- Now weighs 5lbs 14.9oz...He is drinking about 50mls of breast milk or formula...I am producing just enough breast milk for about 2 1/2 babies every time I pump right now so until I can start breast feeding all the time my milk supply probably wont go up so the babies get a formula bottle every once in a while since I cant get them the milk 24/7. Jace and Liam are both great breast feeders! Jace will get his follow up head ultrasound tomorrow to check up on it and make sure it is continuing to get better before he goes home. Both boys have been off caffeine since the 5th and they have to be off for at least 5 days before they can go home to make sure it has worn out of there system and they also have to go at least 5 days without having any spells which is when they desat (there oxygen level goes down) and when there heart rate goes down with it, Jace had one two days ago so we are looking at next week for him coming home...

Liam- Weighs 6lbs 7.4oz He is drinking about the same as Jace 50mls Liam will also get a head ultrasound tomorrow for routine to make sure everything still looks good! Liam hasnt had any spells since the 2nd and has great breathing pattern so he will probably come home by the end of this week! We so excited to get another baby home but so sad for Jace who will be in the NICU by himself, there so used to having each other were praying that he will only be in there for a couple days by himself at the most rather than 4 weeks like Stella! They both have to still have there hearing tests and car seat challenge as well...It is getting towards the end so I am trying to stay patient! lol Here are some recent pictures of the boys:

You can tell Liam on the left is a little chunkier ;)

I thought this was funny how the nurse wrapped them...

Stella- Is doing great! She is eating more, and still sleeping really well....She is up more the older she gets but not as much as the boys are. It will be fun to have them home and see who is bigger, since we dont weigh Stella every day we dont know? But I have a feeling the boys are going to pass her up real fast, there hand are already so much bigger!

and heres the life Stella lives every day, lol she LOVES her sleep and her Daddy!
