A Week and a Day

Dad lovin' Sophie before she gets weighed. She is currently 4lb 9oz which is less than what she weighed when she was born, but she has started to gain a bit more each day. She has started to eat like a champ - she eats more than half of her meals from a bottle and gets the rest put down the feeding tube. She is also dealing with some apnea which is pretty common for preemies...we have to have 5 days apnea free before she can come home, so patiently we wait.

Dad and Jack. Jack is currently 5lb 9oz and he is gaining more each day. Thankfully we aren't dealing with any apnea with Jack but he is way behind his sister in eating. He is pretty content to have the majority of his meals fed to him through his feeding tube. Each of them have to have 2 full days of eating all their own food via the bottle before they can be discharged. So in my opinion, I think that Jack is waiting for his sister to get her apnea under wraps before he gets his act together.
