Today was a day of milestones for both Alexander and Isabel. Alexander got his first chance to breastfeed today. Expectations were fairly low for both the nurses and myself, but Alexander did great. He was quite successful and shocked us all! Isabel finally had her nasal cannula removed! Now we can see her pretty little face better. She kept pulling the cannula out of her nose. Since her oxygen saturation was 100% without it, they decided to go ahead a give her chance.
Both babies have gained weight. Alexander is 4 lbs 5 oz and Isabel is 3 lbs 8 oz. It looks like Isabel is on her way to wearing clothes and being in an open bed like her brother. What fun it will be to dress her up! As for Alexander, I am convinced we will be taking home a 10 pound baby!

Praise the Lord! What wonderful news. Thank you for posting their beautiful pictures, too. What a treat! Hoping to see you this week sometime and bring you the clothes now that I'm home. I'll give you a call. Glad you're feeling better and able to drive now - I know what a big difference that is! Love to you all!
