Daily Visit - July 26, 2012

Upon our arrival to our visit today our nurse, Cindy, forwarned us that Westyn had just had a stinky diaper and she was not lying. Ronnie and me walked around the corner to enter into his room and goodness gracious did he mark his territory. We had a good laugh about it and joked about what we have to look forward to when they come home. She said that the reason so smelly was probably because supplementing my breast milk with formula. They had told us they would be doing that in order to add calories to the breast milk and help with weight gain.

Wesley was very active today. It was super cute seeing him sneeze and squirm around while Cindy checked all his vitals. While watching him we noticed he was sticking his fingers in his mouth and I told her we definitely wanted to break that before he becomes a thumb sucker. So she gave him his paci and he went to town sucking away at it. Just melted my heart sitting there watching him.

Me and Ronnie still are trying to pick out each other features that the boys have, but it's so hard because they are still changing so much and still working on getting fat on their bones. We are super excited to see how they will change and look as they continue to grow and get stronger.

The boys both had head ultrasounds done to check for bleeding in the brain and both of their tests came out good. They also had humidity going in each issolette and have been able to turn that off for now. The humidity just was to help with putting moisture back into their skin. They had swim lessons (baths) the other night and when I went to see them yesterday Westyn's hair was sticking straight up everywhere.

Their stats are: Westyn - 3lbs 1oz and up to 28ml of breast milk. Wesley - 2bs 14ozs and up to 26ml of breast milk. They are almost at their full feeding level of 30ml (which is 1 ounce). I have been kangarooing with both boys daily and we are hoping that Ronnie feels comfortable enough to start kangarooing with them next week as well to create a bond with them. Ronnie did read some books to the boys today while I was holding them. Such great family memories are already starting to form.

Till next time!! We continue to ask God to watch over our boys and keep them strong so they can come home soon!
