Day 39: Nap time

Today was a good day for the girls. Dave & I did kangaroo care for almost 3 hours and for a portion of that the 4 of us were napping together, it was wonderful! Emma continues to tolerate her feedings so today Dr. D increased her to 6 mLs an hour and also changed to a 50:50 mix of breast milk and similac special care 24. Emma's weight today was 2 lbs 14 oz (1300 grams) and her length was 15 3/4 inches (40cm). Adalyn is also doing well with her feedings and her weight tonight was 3 lbs 1.5 oz (1400 grams) and her length was also 15 3/4 inches (40cm). Both girls are also still on a CPAP of 5 on room air.

Please continue to pray that they tolerate their feedings, have few alarms, stay free from infection, continue to grow and develop well, and that their eye exams this week show no signs of ROP. Thank you God for another great day and what an absolute blessing Emma & Adalyn are to Dave & I!
