It’s taken a bit of time to update our blog, but the main reason is due to the lack of news to share!  They tell us we have “boring babies” but in a very positive way =).  The boys’ infection results came back this morning – negative!  They were taken off their antibiotics.  They’re also off their CPAPs since they were breathing room air and not needing any oxygen.  Today they will also most likely have their IVs removed since they’re almost up to full feeding levels.  They’re a little jaundice so they also each got bilirubin lights and some cool shades to protect their eyes from the blue light.  Also their food is being supplemented with extra protein as they are occasionally spitting up some of their meals, but not enough to cause any concern.

Mommy was officially discharged around lunch time today, so we’re no longer having to bounce back and forth between the NICU and her room which is great!  However, now that she no longer has a room, we unfortunately can no longer receive any flowers or balloons since they aren’t allowed in the NICU.

The doctors say the boys are doing so well they will most likely be transferred to “Level 2” NICU care which is for those who aren’t critical and in need of constantly close watch, so we may end up being moved across the street to the Texas Children’s West Tower which is the building that we stayed in during our time with Nathan and Kaleb two years ago.

The boys are being spoiled regularly spending plenty of “skin-to-skin” aka “Kangaroo care” time clung onto both of our chests.  This is also helping Mommy make even MORE milk which she’s already way ahead of the curve on!  By today or tomorrow we will no longer need to rely on donor milk.  Both the nurses and milk bank are quite impressed, especially considering it’s only day 3!
