One Week Old

The girls are one week old, or should I say one week new, today!! They are still in NICU with feeding tubes because they are still trying to learn how to suck, breath and swallow all at the same time. That is hard for preemies to do. They tire out easily. They are gaining weight and starting to hold their temps at a steady rate. It won't be long and they will get to come home. We are so in love with these little girls. I just can't get enough of them. I just want to stare at them all the time because they are so adorable. I have listed some of the girls' traits below:

EMMA:
-She likes to pull out her feeding tube!!
-She loves her paci...
-She is like her daddy and is gassey...
-She loves to stare at mommy when I feed her.
-She loves to chew on her little fingers.

ELLA:
-She loves to stretch.
-She loves her paci...
-She makes a squeaking noise when she wakes up and is hungry.
-She is a little piglet. She is doing great with her bottle feedings.
-She doesn't like her diaper changed.

And...of course...they are both night owls. They like to open their eyes and stay awake at night. We have a lot of loooooong nights ahead of us!!!!
