Everything is still going very well. John and I went on an over-night trip for our anniversary, and that is why we haven't posted in a little while. It was so hard being away from the babies, but their grandparents were there to spend some quality time feeding and loving on them, so that made it a little easier!
The babies have been doing so well eating that they have moved them all to eating by bottle every other feeding. The next step will be every feeding and then eating whenever they want. (Although, since we are going to put them on an eating schedule to keep our sanity, I am going to see if we can skip that last step. :) ) This morning Emmerson took 40 ml, Brody took 36 ml and Logan took 34 ml by bottle! This is over half of their feedings and is a great sign they are learning! Emmerson and Logan are both up to 55 ml for each feeding and Brody is at 60 ml or 2 full ounces! And it is really showing in their weights.....Emmerson: 2260 grams or 4lb. 15 oz. (WOW...almost 5 lbs. !) Brody: 2575 grams or 5 lbs. 10 oz. and Logan: 4 lbs. 6oz (still the smallest, but what a gain from his 2lb 11 0z. start!!!) One more piece of good news: Brody came off the caffeine on Saturday and since then NO SPELLS! This means that he has "grown out" of that "side effect" of his prematurity. They are all doing wonderful and we know that God has truly heard all of our prayers. Thank you for continuing to keep them in yours!
