The girls are one week old today and are doing very well in the NICU. They have been on an IV since birth to receive extra nutrients. Brooklyn managed to pull out her IV last night and they decided to let her keep it out and Madison will get hers removed today. The doctor believes they are getting enough nutrients from their feedings. This is a huge milestone and it will be one less cord hooked to their little bodies. Brooklyn seems to be responding well to the caffeine and has had very few bradycardia episodes. Madison must have been jealous because she is now on caffeine also for bradycardia episodes.
Here is Brooklyn before her IV was removed from her arm.
Madison all wrapped up in her incubator. She seems to love her hands by her face.
We have been able to hold to their girls twice a day! It has been wonderful to cuddle with them and they both seem to calm down when in our arms. Each time we visit we get to take their temperatures and change their diapers. Day by day we are starting to feel a little more like parents.
