Quick late night update!

Connor and Brandon are doing SO well! Brandon had his nasal cannula removed today. (That's the 2 prong thingy they put up your nose to dispense oxygen) Both have been having some apnea spells which is normal for preemies. Brandon's were becoming so regular that they put him on some caffeine. He hasn't had any spells in 24 hours, and Connor has only had 2. They both need to beef up a little, so they are mixing a high calorie cocktail with the breast milk. Both are finally going #2 regularly and we think we're in the clear for jaundice. They check their levels regularly and they've been just under the mark where they would need the lights. Connor's IV was removed this week, and we hope to have Brandon's out very soon too. Keep praying for these little guys...they are doing SO well!!!

Look how big the newborn onesie is on Brandon!!!!

Connor is working on the sucking reflex and is doing well! I hope to have him breast feeding regularly very soon!
