Twice the love and pounds ...
March 17th Annie and Stewart moved to an open crib. What we are most proud of is that they have stayed there. The progress has been steady and measured; mostly by mom and babies doing their thing: feeding, eating, loving, and growing. Today Stewart weighs 5 lbs 6 ounces, Annie 5 lbs 3 ounces; that is twice their birthweight!

The criteria for getting Annie and Stewart home include removing their feeding tubes (they need to get all their calories from bottle and/or breast); and absent apnea & bradycardia episodes (they need to be able to keep their heart rate and oxygen levels up on their own). We are on our way in those departments.

Annie and Stewart are still on oxygen, but less oxygen than a week ago. Hopefully they will be completely off before they go home. They still have feeding tubes, but both of them are breast feeding and are gradually getting the hang of the game.

Stewart and Annie are 8 weeks old today (36 weeks gestational age). We are "ready" to get them home yet so thankful for all the love and care Annie and Stewart are getting in the I.C.N.. We are able (and encouraged) to engage in a majority of the largely routine care they receive now. Typical baby stuff: feedings, diaper changes, and cuddling. It's been a joy for all of us.

We are so thankful for this day, and thankful for how far Stewart and Annie have come. Thank you so much for praying for us, thinking of us, and being so generous with your love, gifts, and kindness.
Love,
Annie, Stewart, Aimiee, and Carl
