Day 13 in ISCU

Lucky Day 13 and Stella finally catches a break! Her ECHO cardiogram came back and there was nothing of significance to note.  The doctors were not concerned, but we will have to follow up with a cardiologist in 6 months.  Thank you God!  Phew!

                                              Stella is so relieved!  :)

The other very lucky thing that happened this morning is that the girls now have "lo-jack" like beepers on their ankles.  We are now able to take them out of ISCU and into parent rooms for an hour, since they have been doing so well and have been stable.   This is a big step in leaving the ISCU.  We are excited to take the big girls there this weekend and enjoy some time together as a family of 6!

Stella did great today!  I was able to bottle feed her twice and she was even able to nurse today!  She did great nursing--latching on right away and staying on for about 3 or 4 minutes.  Good job!


Lulu also had a great day!  She also nursed like a little champ today for a few minutes and then took about half of her bottle.  Hooray!

Some of the clothes in the ISCU have been washed over and over, so they have shrunk over time.  I brought in some of the preemie clothes that Talia used to wear when she first came home.  They are big on the twins, but they are so cute!
