One week older and wiser too!

Our boys are one week old as of yesterday. They have really been doing great. We were only allowed to take them out of their isolettes once a day for the first few days so only one of us could hold them a day. Now, we can take then out twice so we both get to hold our boys once a day! This allowed us to take our first family photo, seen above. We had the nurse scoot their isolettes together and finagle cords so we could finally be together as a family!(by the way, the staff is GREAT in the NICU! We're so grateful for all they do)(Liam below)

The boys have accomplished a lot this week. They are now off their iv fluids and tolerating their feedings. They continue to gain weight, bur are still both just below 4 lbs. They are tolerating feedings through the tube in their nose, but still no interest in sucking. Our nurse said that would come as they grow bigger and mature. The boys have spent a lot of time under the Bili lights to help with jaundice. We hope that's over soon. When they finally got all unhooked, they both wore their first pair of clothes.

We've noticed that Liam seems to be the chill guy. He just lays around like he owns the place, without a care. Oliver is a bit more feisty, pulling at tubes, kicking his legs, and letting us all know when he's unhappy. They both love to hear their daddy talk to them and their mommy sing.

We love our boys!(Oliver on left, Liam on right)
