The babies were looking good today. Brock is up to 4 pounds, 5.5 oz and 17 inches long, and is trying to go without his cannula today. He is also off caffeine which he has been on to help him with his apnea and Brady's. We will see how it all goes but we are optimistic that he will do great! He looked happy and healthy when we were visiting today and he has been bumped back up to 24 calories fortifier with my milk. He is our little stable baby :)

Brother Christian awake when we were there today too. He must really be feeling better to be so awake these last few days. He is up to 3 pounds, 15 oz. and is 16 inches long. Although we know some of that is fluid, we are still so thrilled he is growing. Monday will be his 10 days on the antibiotics and the doctors don't feel he is quite ready to come off of them and eat right now. They thoughts maybe Thursday or Friday might be better. His tummy is still puffy and they think sore for him. He x-ray isn't any worse and they don't think the infection is coming back, they just aren't quite sure he is healed at this point, so we will give him a few more days to make sure.

Brandon had a great work trip and I was so happy to see him come through that door on Friday night!

  2. Hi Jenn! I just found your blog today, (thanks to Ian, Sara and Facebook). I've been wondering how you and the boys were doing since Sara posted about thier birth. Reading your blog brings back sooo many memories of our 7 1/2 week stay in the NICU with our 29 weeker Dylan almost 3 years ago, (wow, can't beleive it's been that long). I'm so glad to see that Brock is doing well and that Christian is getting better by the day. I know that "NICU rollercoaster" is tough, but hang in there and they'll be home before you know it. You guys are in our thoughts and prayers. Let me know if you ever need/want a shoulder or ear from someone who's been there.
