Bath Time

Learned how to give babies sponge baths this weekend and today got to give both of them one one my own. What a scary but fun and memorable experience. Both babies were alert for their baths and looking around. They didn't seem to really mind it, until the end when I left them soaking and didn't have a towel/blanket to warm them up in. I blame the nurses for that one. hahaha.

McKenna seems to be doing a little better today. Doctor thought her stomach was looking okay, although we still haven't gotten results to see if she has the gut infection again. We also determined she should only be "breast feeding" once a day because the two times a day seems to overstimulate her and cause sat drops and she has been losing weight.

Keaton is still doing awesome today. He is so alert and calm. They stopped giving him his medicine that helps his brain remember to breathe because he hasn't had a heart rate drop in a week. If he ends up having one, they will put him back on it, but for now he is off.

Looking forward to heading back to hospital tonight to see the babies and seeing how much they weigh. McKenna will begin receiving 25 ml now of breast milk, and Keaton is still at 32 ml.
