We now have 2 babies that have grown up so fast this week. They have both started wearing clothes, being held by Mimi, regulating their body temperature, and remained on nasal cannula. Kate has continued to eat from a bottle for 4 of her 8 feedings a day. Will needs to get to 2 liters/min on nasal cannula to try to eat. He is currently at 3 and Kate is only at 3/4 liters/min, which one doctor said that was "like blowing in her nose." Will has finally moved out of his isolette and into a crib, where he is patiently awaiting his sister's arrival, because they will co-bed them now that they are both more stable. Will is currently 4 lbs. 4 1/2 oz. (1950 grams) and Kate is 3 lbs. 13 oz.(1730 grams). She needs to gain about 70 grams (= 2.3 oz.) and she can join her brother. Will also decided to join in being clean this week. He had his first bath on Friday and he loved it! We have truly had a wonderful week!!!!!
