We want to go home so bad, but one more day isn't too bad ...I guess. Having the most incredible nurses and doctors in the world makes it a little easier, too! It's amazing the relationships we've built here over that past 11 days. We feel like the other parents in the NICU are family. It's like we're all looking out for each other's children. When one baby is released everyone is so excited (and a bit jealous!).
Both Alexander and Ellington are eating really well. In fact, Ella sucked her bottle dry today - that's 60ml (2oz)! It's hilarious, as soon as you lean her forward to burp her she lets out a giant man belch. Alex had his tube removed and is eating great without it! He takes about 40ml/feeding which is awesome! He doesn't burp quite like Ella, but I'm sure she'll teach him.
Also (w/o too much detail), Alex had a little procedure done today. But he took it like a champ and only cried for about 15 minutes. We're proud of our "little guy" ("big guy" to his face).
Some more picture of the little ones.
(They like to be swaddled together.)
