In the 5 days since the last post, we've been all over the place with spell watches. The babies start on day 0 and every day without a spell they go up until day 5, then we go home. Every time they have a spell, they return to day 0. Elsie has gotten to the last 48 hours, Sammy and Danny have both made it to day 2. As of today all babies are on day 0. We may never leave :)
Everybody has crossed the 7 lbs mark! Sammy is our best eater and now has 3 chins and weighs 7 lbs 10 oz. Danny takes in as much but spits out an ounce or so a day, bring him in at 7 lbs 5 oz. Elsie Mae, or as I affectionately call her 'pukey face' due to the astronomical amounts of spit she produces a day, is at 7 lbs 1 oz.
We had our first bout with meds this week. We have been very fortunate thus far not to have any babies on meds, but Sammy has some preemie hypertension (high blood pressure), and so they started him on a small daily dose to control it. They also mentioned medication for Elsie to help with her severe reflux. The poor girl wretches like she is gagging on a chicken bone and wears vomit like it's an accessory to her outfit.
Here are some pics :) You'll notice all babies live in bibs now. Each goes through almost half a dozen bib changes a day. And bibs are easier to wash (and not fold) than outfits. The end.
Awww, bummer! I was hoping the reason why you hadn't posted in a few days was because you were busy taking babies home! They're just so stinkin' cute, I can't stand it!
