The babies looked really good last night. Nicholas was wide awake and very alert. I got to hold him for about 15 minutes, but he got to comfortable and started forgetting to breathe which was dropping his heart rate. This of course meant he had to go back to his incubator.
Daddy got tho hold Eva and sh was very alert. She was staring up at him and even gave a few smiles. She didn't have any breathing issues and was doing wonderful. Her tummy is still enlarged, so they are holding her feedings again today. She did hHave a rather large bowel movement last night which helped. We are just really hoping right now that the problem fixes itself and she doesn't have to have surgery.
Nicholas is now taking two ounces of breastmilk every 3 hours which is wonderful. In a few weeks they should start working with him on taking a bottle, and then he can move to breastfeeding.
He had to go ba ck under the blue lights today because his biliruben levels were up again, but hopefully he won't be under for long.
We did get a couple of really good pictures last night and I'll try to post some later.
