The boys second week birthday!

Today is the boys second week birthday.  I offered to eat some chocolate cake to celebrate for them but Mike wasn't buying it!  

Where is all of this snow coming from?  Just when we thought it was nearing the end and the ground was finally starting to show, we get a surprise storm!

The boys are doing well.  They are growing really slowly so the have increased the amount of Human Milk Fortifier that they are getting and they have also switched to a different version of HMF.  They want to try to for a few days and if we still don't see much weight gain, they are going to try some other tricks :)  We just have skinny mini's - If only Mike and I could have their problem with weight gain! They are both still on their bili lites but they levels have finally started to drop slightly.  The Dr.'s want to give it a while longer to make sure they stay down and if they do, they will take them off the lights for a day and make sure their levels don't rise again.  Once they are off of their lights, we will be able to try some "co-bedding."  This is where you put both babies in the same crib together.  Mike and I are both very anxious to see how they react to being together again. Both boys are doing well with feeding.  They are still not bottle/nursing 100% of the time but they are up to about 80% which is great!  Aiden lost his belly button today which was exciting.  

We are planning on staying through the 9 pm feeding tonight to celebrate the babies birth's later tonight at 7:11 and 7:29 pm.  It is amazing how quickly the last two weeks have passed!

Hooray! Two weeks. Time certainly does fly. Glad to hear the boys are growing slowly but surely.
