Getting Stronger Every Day!

It is amazing how far the girls have come in just 5 days. They are getting stronger every day (so is their Mommy!!). They have now increased each of their feedings to 20 ml each feeding and they are doing a great job of both taking the bottle and attempting to nurse. They have both now been able to discontinue their lipid iv fluids. The nurse said after they get their feedings bumped a couple of more times they should be able to discontinue the iv all together. That will be so great not seeing them with so many tubes attached. They both were able to discontinue the bililights today because their jaundice levels were better. They will check the levels tomorrow morning again. Hopefully they will continue to maintain healthy levels and not need the lights again. Since they are not under the lights they get to wear clothes. It is so cute seeing them dressed. The look like such big kids dressed! (Except for the fact that even the preemie size clothing is way too big!) Now we just need them to continue to grow so we can take them home. We are so ready to have our entire family home!! Thanks for all of your thoughts and prayers. I have no idea where we would be without all of the support from everyone! I will try to post more pictures in the next couple of days.
