Hello ladies!
My twins were born on the 11th at 31 weeks. They are both still in the NICU but doing great. My girl twin .. Natalia is now weighing 3lbs 7 oz. She is starting to use bottles and is doing great! They said all she needs to do is gain weight and she will be able to go home. My boy twin.. Marquevis is weighing 3lbs 7oz as well. He is still having episodes of sleep apnea and sometimes his heart rate dips. They started him on bottles too but he is still trying to work on the breathe, suck, and swallow at the same time thing. So he needs to get over the episodes of low heart rate and apnea .. and do better with bottle feedings .. and gain weight and he should be able to go home. They are estimating another 12 days or so before they can come home.
They both suck their thumbs .. and pacifiers. The only thing they have right now is the monitors and the feeding tubes. The feeding tubes will come out when they have mastered eating from bottles! 
I have been pumping milk for them and taking it in. I am amazed my milk supply has been doing good enough to feed the both. I can't wait til they can come home but I would like them to stay in the NICU until they are definetly good and ready!
