XP: Update on my boys!

aliwisewoman

Thanks for all the thoughts and well-wishes!

Dominic and Vincent are doing great! They are 3 days old today! Vincent is breathing room air with no assistance! Dominic has a nasal cannula but is also breathing room air, most of the time. They are both getting breast milk thru a feeding tube. The only real issue we are having at the moment is that Dominic hasn't pooped yet. They started a continuous feed which they hope will stimulate a bowel movement.

Their full names are Dominic Theodore and Vincent Harvey.

Vincent is in the green froggie hat, and that is Dominic with the head full of hair!

Sorry if the pics are sideways or upside-down, I'm mobile!

Sweet boys! They look great!

Do they have any idea how long they may be in the NICU?

All they've said is expect sometime around your due date which is about 9 weeks from now. I think it just depends on what happens along the way and when they reach their milestones, like maintaining body temp, not having apnea or brachycardia events, being able to suck-swallow-breathe, etc.
