Twins 1 week old (PIP) doing well!!

Hi everyone!Hope you all are doing well! Just a quick update <: Ethan and Allison, our 34 weekers are doing wonderfully. They have been off CPAP for a few days and breathing well on their own. They are a little hesitant with the bottle but tried them both on the breast yesterday and they "knew what to do" and did very well!! They are calling them feeders/growers, I'm so proud especially of our mini Allison (who had IUGR). They will be transporting them to a NICU closer to us (30 min) away as the Brigham is an hour and 1/2 away. The NICU they are being transferred to is a level 2 (brigham is a level 3). They may be doing this tomorrow, I'm glad that they are doing so well that they can be transferred to a less intensive care NICU!!  Hope to have them home in a few weeks but this will be a lot easier to not have to drive in so much!!The new pic below is them! They are really alert! She cries a ton and gets super fussy about wanting to eat. Hmm maybe because my son was "stealing a lot of her food" inside! haha They are very sweet babies. He is super laid back and she's a little feisty girl!

  • So cute!  Glad to hear they are doing well.  I had my boys at a hospital 2 hours away and we transferred them at 33 weeks.  It was a huge relief to have them closer to home.
  • Great progress!!  It will be so great to have them closer to home.  They're super cute.

  • Wonderful news! I've been following your story on both this board and the April 2012 board. Praying that they are freed from the NICU soon.
