April Fools Progress

Brinley joined Cooper in the 5 pound club today!

Everybody kept saying it would happen fast, but I didn't really believe it, but both babies are pretty much nursing now!  I've gone from coming twice a day to try to feed them to being here all day and alternating who's getting nursed at alternate feedings.  They are both doing great so far. We're not positive that Brinley is getting as much milk as she could be (she's still protecting her breathing a lot) so she's still getting 1/2 of her feedings through the tube in her nose and half from me. Cooper has started getting all of his feeding from me when we do nurse.  The next issue is to work up to being able to do it at every feeding, every 3 hours. Now if they nurse, they get soo tired they can't do it the next feeding and have to have the nose tube feeding. So we're working on that now.  It shouldn't be too much longer before they get to come home.
