So the week has gone by fast. The first night was hard, I kept hearing every little noise and the boys were both used to the noisiness of the NICU so there wasn't a lot of sleeping. The rest of the week the nights went great, we got a couple stretches of up to 4 hours in between night time feedings. We now have a system worked out well, Matt takes the boys in to change their diapers, I mix up the bottles and thicken the formula and then we eat feed and burp one of the boys and back to bed to start over again in another 3 hours :).
They are doing so well. So far it has been pretty easy and we are able to keep them on the schedule. Mostly just sleep, eat and poop.
Jude & Zeke both went to the pediatrician this week. Jude's weight was 6 lb 8 oz and Zeke was at 6 lbs 14 oz. They are growing so fast and the pediatrician says they are both doing great. Jude has a lot of nasal congestion and teary eyes. The doctor thinks he might have allergies already so we are doing a wait and see. Not much they can do for him anyway at this age.
The girls are loving every chance they can get to hold the boys. They are actually a really great help. If one of them wants to be held and I can't at the moment, I just grab a big sister and the boys really love it. Most of the time they really spend time studying the girls. The boys love it when they talk to him. Ayla likes to sing to them. Right now, this is Rhianna --- sooo that is interesting. She's got some serious dance moves too!
