12/15/05, 3 weeks 2 days old!

DH and I went up for the 11am feeding today - Jackson was in his big boy crib! :) He is in the double crib and the other side is all ready for Miss Evie!! She should hit 4 lbs tonight (we hope!!)

I was able to nurse Evie for 5 minutes before offering her the bottle!! Only 5 minutes because we didnt want her to get too tired. She did well :) After nursing she did drink her entire bottle! The dr has upped her from 34 cc's to "as much as she wants"!!! YAY Evie!!

Jackson took his entire bottle so well also! :) He is up to 35 cc's! After his bottle i offered Jackson the breast and he latched on but was too sleepy to nurse. That's okay, we will try again! He is doing very well in the open crib, maintaining his temperature! :)


Some BIG news... BOTH babies took bottles for all their overnight feedings!! What a big surprise it was to get this news! :) So they had 8pm, 11pm, 2am and 5am bottles - tube feeding at 8am (i requested, so they wouldnt be too tired for us) and then a bottle at 11am as well! Im not sure how they took their 2pm feeding, im going to call and checkin in a few minutes. But im going back up to the hospital tonight so they should both have bottles at 8pm as well.

I cannot believe how well these babies are doing! :)

Heres a few new pics from today... im sure ill have more pics later if Evie moves to the open crib!
