Visitors

I don't think anybody is shocked that when you pick up the phone and say, "When are you coming to hold your ________ (nephew, great nephew, cousin or friends baby)?" The winning response is, "As soon as I can!!!"

The rules for the amount of visitors hasn't changed, 2 visitors. Well today we broke the rules (8 of us), and the nurses and doctor alike, ignored the rule infraction. One nurse said, "Oh, you multiplied." The doctor, "Looks like you are having a nice visit." The visitors can now hold the boys......

We took a few pictures of the visitors, here is one:



They weren't allowed to come and meet them in NICU, but they certainly couldn't wait to meet their new cousins. Sam even got to feed Gavin for a short time and she did a GREAT job!



Riley hit 5lbs 1oz at his 3am weigh in this morning and Gavin hit 4lbs 13 oz. When the doctor popped in today I asked him about the weight and what it means in terms of going home. He said with them weight isn't an issue as they are continually gaining, all they have to do is take their bottles at all feeds for 48 hours. They are currently taking 45 ml at each feed, and Riley is being bumped up to 50 ml at his 3pm feed.

So far they haven't been able to finish their bottles at every feed. Sometimes they finish all of it and sometimes only half. Most of the time we can get them to finish every feed, but not always, it all depends on what happened just before they were fed.

Great news, eh? I think so too. Have a great Saturday....it's snowing here!
