Moving forward

Yesterday evening was a little tough but we got good news this morning. Maddy is having some issues with her lungs, she responded very well to the treatments last night. Zoe is moving along, she is no longer under the Bili lights, so her incubator has a big blanket over it to keep it quiet, and dark like the womb. Jimi has Kangaroo Care tonight with the little peanut. We hope to hold Maddy in the next few days :)

Milk does the body good!

Yesterday was good day, both ladies started to take tiny amounts of breast milk every two hours and they kept it down. We are so proud :) Maddy will have an x-ray today and hopefully they can remove her chest tube this afternoon or tomorrow, we're both dying to hold her! Aside from the tube in Maddy, both girls are doing well - one day closer to coming home.

Mom's turn

We are taking turns each night holding Miss Zoe, it was my turn on Saturday - - mmmmmmm, heaven!

Kangaroo Dad

Miss Zoe and Kangaroo Jimi got a chance to bond for the first time on Friday evening in "Kangaroo Care". We now get to hold Zoe skin on skin once a day, they call this process kangaroo care at the NICU - very addictive, she was not pleased when it was time for her to go back to bed. She is beyond cute!

Big Day for all!

We all had a big day! Around 1am last morning Zoe decided to pull out her breathing tube. Fortunately her doctors were planning on doing this morning anyway and all is fine. Maddy spent the day as always, just relaxing with her legs crossed.

The best part of the day came around 9pm when Ursula and I got to hold Zoe for the first time. If all goes as planned we will be able to do the same with Maddy either tomorrow night or Saturday.

HAPPY FEET

Happy to say it was a quiet day, not much new to report except 10 cute toes.

BLONDIES

Total cute blonde peach fuzz, definitely their father's daughters. Both have a ton of blonde hair all over, this shot is of Missy Maddy catching some rays under the Bili lights. Both are doing well, and one day closer to coming home :)

The eye cover is to protect her eyes from the lights.
