One month and counting

The boys have made it one month and two days now! Today, they are 35 weeks gestational age. We are hoping only a couple more weeks in the hospital.

Nicholas is eating really well. He is up to 47 mls per feed. He has nursed up to 12 mls at once and had 2 whole bottles last night so he is definitely homeward bound! Just needs to eat all feeds on his own (without tube). Also, his murmur is practically gone and he has passed the 5 lb mark!

Matthew isn't far behind his brother. His murmur is definitely quieter and they think his PDA is closing. He had a bit of trouble keeping warm so they put a blanket on top of his crib to block the ridiculously cold draft bearing down on him (Mommy was freezing too so how could little Matthew be expected to keep himself warm?!). He is up to 42 mls and had 22 mls out of a bottle this morning. He nursed 10 mls yesterday and today! Hopefully he can catch up so he doesn't have to be left behind when discharge time comes.
