look Mom! No IV's!!

A big HOORAY for our little ones as they are officially free from IV's! We haven't seen David little foot in ages! They are both doing well. Both tolerating their full feedings well. Mary Louise put on 8 grams of weight this evening. They had not weighed David just yet when we went there. He is doing well though - they were able to decrease the rate on his vent once again. He is now back down to a mere 10 which means he is doing most of the breathing work on his own once more. He seems to be tolerating it very well - sleeping soundly. He also seems much less agitated since his feedings became substantial. Full bellies seem to make happy babies!

David has also graduated to the larger sized diapers! He also floats in them but were are excited all the same to see our little peanut out growing his oh so tiny diapers in exchange for just plain smalls.

Way to go babies! Keep up the determination! We are so very proud of them.

Love,
Heather
