Ella does…finally! They finally started Ella on breast milk today. She hasn’t had anything since the day she was born. They’ve been worried about her stomach, wanting her to get rid of a couple of “things” but finally decided to just go ahead and start the milk. She gets like a milliliter every 30 minutes. That’s equivalent of a couple of drops, but it’s getting her digestion system started as well. Maybe now, once she starts getting some more, she’ll start to put some weight on! It’s funny, she got her feeding tube the other night, and not even a couple of hours after she got it, she yanked it out. The next day, they put another one in, and decided to tape it all the way across her little face and put socks on her hands to so she wouldn’t yank it out as well. Wow, we’re going to have our hands full…seriously! Monica got to kangaroo with her the other night for the first time since birth, and also got to last night as well. I’m sure Ella loved it! Ella’s at 2 lbs 5 oz.

Emma’s doing great! She gave us a little bit to worry about yesterday. She’s testing positive for an infection and they wanted to do a spinal tap to see if it was also in her spinal cord. They tried a couple of times, but decided to just wait and see, since another culture they did, did not show anything. Therefore, it might just be a minor infection. She’s getting antibiotics so that should help. We get to hold her every time we go up there, so it’s pretty awesome! It was my turn tonight, so I got to hold her. She opened her eyes and smiled at me once…She’s at 3 lbs 7 oz. Big girl!

thanks Linda, for the idea!!
