Day 27: 29 weeks

Grandpa & Grandma Lamar checking out Emma on Sunday.

The girls are 29 weeks today, and it was another good day! I got to give Emma a bath today for the first time. Emma did not think it was very fun. I get to give Adalyn a bath tomorrow as long as she is doing good. This morning Emma was put back on CPAP because she had more brady alarms during the night. We saw that coming :) Both girls are doing good on a CPAP of 5 on room air. Both girls have been doing relatively well with their brady alarms. They continue to have them, but most are self resolved, and often they are related to suctioning, CPAP care, or spitting up. Adalyn's feedings are the same except they are giving them over 2 hours instead of 1 hour to see if that helps with her spitting up. It seemed to help during the day, but then just before we were getting ready to leave tonight she had a big spit up. Hopefully that is the only one she will have tonight. Emma's feeds were increased to 8 mL every 3 hours. She seems to be tolerating this well. She only had one small spit up so far today. Both girls had nice poopy diapers for us before we left tonight...so thoughtful :) Adalyn weighed in tonight at 2 lbs 5 oz (1050 grams) and Emma weighed 2 lbs 6 oz (1070 grams). Both girls gained weight even after their big poos...we are so proud :)

Please continue to pray that the girls tolerate their feedings well, continue to do well on CPAP, have less alarms, grow and develop well, and that God continue to protect them from NEC and other infections. Again please join us in praising God for a good day and for their weight gain!
