The girls are sleeping and eating and getting bigger everyday! They've both had big weight gains this week--Stella weighs 4 pounds, 11 ounces and Lucia is 4 pounds, 10 ounces. They are both eating the max. amount of 40 ml (just over an ounce) every 3 hours, and their bottles are being fortified with some extra calories and vitamins. Sometimes, they can finish the entire bottle, and other times they just take a few gulps, and the rest goes down their feeding tubes. They just need to remember to keep swallowing so that they can keep growing!
I was able to get some good snuggling time with each of the girls today and then with both of them together. They fell fast asleep, and seemed to really like being so close. I LOVED my time with them today! I was so sad to leave. I can't wait until they come home and we can snuggle all the time!
(for a few minutes, anyway)
