So, today was kind of a bummer for me. Last night I turned up with a fever. NICU rules don't allow you to visit until you have been fever free for 24 hours. While I appreciate this rule, It does mean not seeing the babies today. Greg will go tonight and work on feeding both babies with a bottle.
As of yesterday Alexander was 5 pounds 7.5 oz and Isabel was 4 pounds 10 oz. These babies are growing like weeds. I spoke with the babies' nurse this morning and they both had a great night. Alexander took 2 full feedings from the bottle and Isabel took 2 partial feedings from the bottle. I am hoping that one or both of them can come home in 2-3 weeks!
Thanks to everyone who has been supporting us with thoughts, prayers, dinner meals, gifts, and visits. we are truly blessed!
Love,
Susan

I hope you get better soon! I know how much you need your baby time. Good you can rest, though. Hoping Greg does well with the feedings tonight. I think I might have to come up there and feed those babies some bottles, too! I want them to come home :)
