The girls had a change of feedings for the first time in a couple days. They let them have a break to let their bodies catch up, but now they are going up again. Kandis is going back to the adding of 1/2 ml every twelve hours. By tonight, she was getting 9 ml every 2 hours. She is catching up to sister again. For Kenedi, they have added in the extra calories and fat into the milk. This gives them a chance to have just as much in their system, but gain weight faster. She is getting 10 ml every 2 hrs, but just more calories and fat than what is in regular breast milk. So, they both should be gaining weight.
They both had head ultrasounds today, which shows if there is any water or blood in the brain. Also shows if there are any blockages or swelling anywhere. Both of the results were good and nothing was found. They did one right after they were born, and then this one is the second one at four weeks. They will do one last one before the girls go home as a precaution.
The nurses are trying to keep the heads nice and round, so moving the direction they are facing helps with this. Lately, they have been on their backs more, which is so cute.
