Emily's first week at home has been great. She eats, sleeps and poops! We had to adjust to having a baby that was not connected to wires and monitors. She is eating 75mls per feeding and will sleep for 4 hour stretches during the night (yay!). She also takes a daily trip to the hospital to see her brother. During last night's trip we weighed her on their scale and she is right at 6lbs.
Matthew is still in the hospital. I am starting to think that the nurses are spoiling him so he is just fine with staying. His doctors are watching his breathing rate and weight gain. He just needs to be a bit stronger and bigger before he can come home. He weighed 4 lbs 9.5 oz last night. While it is hard having him there, we know that it is best for him to stay there until he is ready to come home.
It is important to keep in mind that according to my due date of August 10th, they should still be "cooking" and were not due to arrive for another 3 days. The nurses are constantly reminding us of that VERY important fact. So with that said, they are both doing excellent!!
