Day 30: Oh the weather outside is frightful...

Thankfully Adalyn & Emma are nice and warm tucked in their isolettes because it is COLD outside. I wonder what the twinners will be like the first time they are able to play in the snow. Will they like it or will they be like their mommy and be really cold? Something I look forward to experiencing with them in the future.

Anywho, the girls are doing well. Both have had more spitting up in the past 24 hours. They also have had an increase in alarms, but they are self resolved. Both girls are still on a CPAP of 5 on room air. Emma's feedings were on hold for a feeding this morning because her abdominal girth was up and she was spitting up more. So they did an X-ray of her belly and everything looked normal. So they restarted her feedings at 10 mL every 3 hours but without the HMF this time. So far she has been tolerating that better. Emma's weight tonight was 2 lbs 8 oz (1130 grams). Adalyn's feedings are the same because her belly was a little distended and she was spitting up a little more as well. If this continues they will take the HMF out of her feedings. If it improves they will likely increase her feedings tomorrow. Adalyn's weight is 2 lbs 8 oz (1140 grams).

Please pray with us that God help the girls tolerated their feedings better. Join us in thanking God that Emma's X-ray did not show any signs of NEC or other problems. Again (I feel like a broken record) please pray for God to help the twinners continue to grow and develop and that God continue to protect them from infection. Thank you so much for your continued prayers, we feel them!
