6 Weeks & 4-5 Days

Went to the morning 'rounds', where they discuss each baby. Each nurse goes in and is joined by the Doctor that is on for the day, the Nurse Practitioner, a Pharmacists and a Charge Nurse. They just go over each baby and let them know what is going on and make plans if there is anything to be done. They decided to start slowing weaning down the oxygen and the rate at which the air is given to the girls. Kenedi is a little higher, because of the fall back when they tried the Nose Pap on her. So, Kandis, because she is already a little lower on her settings, they are going to try her on the Nose Pap tomorrow if all goes well today. So, that is a good sign.


They are gaining weight like crazy. They even upped the food because they are digesting it well. Kenedi is now getting the continuous feeds at 8.5 ml. per hour and Kandis is getting 8 ml. They even have little guts that hang out over their diaper. It's so cute. Kenedi is at 2 lbs 14 oz. I'd say by Saturday, she'll be at 3 pounds. Kandis is not far behind at 2 lbs 11 oz. She'll hit the 3 lb mark probably next week.


Here is Kandis, passed out hard. Can't really tell, but she has her pacifier in her mouth, but it's hanging out because she's so sound asleep.





Kenedi is also sleeping hard here. You can see how chunky she is!
