A good day

We visited the twins early this morning, bearing gifts of mommy milk.  We found out Rose did not like formula and spit it up all night long.  Everyone was doing well - but no big changes.  I did get to see Rose lift her head up and turn to root in her incubator.  She was hungry because she kept spitting up.  I was able to give her a binky and she took to it like a champ. 

This afternoon, Jeff and Marii came to visit.  While I was in the NICU with Jeff, the nurse asked if I'd like to learn to take Max's temperature and change his diaper - of course I would. It was the most I've gotten to interact with him so far.  I think it will be the only diaper I was excited to change.  Max was doing well - his oxygen from the ventilator was down from 28% this morning to 21% this evening.  I know they are planning on continuing to ween him off of the ventilator.  There is definitely improvement.

David got to talk to Rose's nurse and doctor this evening.  She is doing so well, she's moving to nursery B - this is a graduation of sorts.  Every nursery they move over is a bit better.  Once she got mom milk today - she did great keeping it down.  The nurse may even try to bottle feed her tonight.  The purpose of the next nursery is really to get bigger, and practice feeding and temperature control.  Can't wait to visit tomorrow morning and see the progress they made over night.  

It was great to see Jeff and Marii and have them have the opportunity to meet the kids!

 Daddy and Max - He kept kicking his little legs this morning.

Rose in her tanning bed - looks worse than it is - she is just trying to get rid of jaundice.
