Rainy Sunday

Let me think what's going on.  First of all, no news is good news.  Most days there aren't any big changes.  We see changes in how the kids are feeding.  Max is coming along with the bottle, but prefers to breast feed.  Rosie is a hog - she can suck down her bottle in ten minutes!  David is the best bottle giver ever!  I struggle a bit and had some scary moments last night when I kept causing Rosie to choke.  She is just so enthusiastic, it's difficult to get her to slow down.

 Now that's some face.  I'm encouraging Max to eat.

Rosie is looking for food.

Max's labs all came back normal - so...no known reason why he was running a fever and acting weird.  Maybe he's just over it.  They took the IV out and have discontinued the antibiotics.  He made me curse out loud in the NICU this morning.  As I was changing his diaper, he proceeded to pee all over.  I know - anyone who has a boy has had this experience - it was my first.  I need to come up with more appropriate language for being peed on.

The doctor we saw at this morning's 11 am feeding said he was moving Rosie to all bottle feeding - no tube - starting today and he was changing Max to 2/3 feedings on bottle.  So, we are moving forward.  I still don't anticipate Rosie coming home before Tuesday.  Things move kind of slowly.  Regardless, they are both making progress and will hopefully be home soon!

Now that my mom is gone, it's back to cereal and eating out.  I miss the home cooking already!  Nittany misses her too as I just don't have the energy to be her play mate.
