Well I thought I would skip to the boys 34 weeks birthday and start from here. I will post some pictures of the progress in between this time as well. Today was a great day, daddy got to feed jaxon his first bottle and mommy got to do what is called kangaroo care for the first time for 1 hour each. Have to say that was the best thing ever considering it is very difficult to bond with the babies in the NICU. Jaxon is completely off his oxygen and Chace is only on one liter, however he is our fiesty one and hates anything in his nose or mouth so he pulls it out most of the time. Tracey, the Nurse Practitioner who is great by the way, said just to keep it off of him and see how he does. The boys are still not digesting their food or pooping on their own so that is our next big hurdle. Justin and I had a long talk with both boys today about what they need to do, we will see how well they listen...lol. Nurse today said boys may need a PICC line which is an IV they thread very close to the heart and there is risk of infection with that so we are just praying they start eating so they dont need that! Chace had to get an IV in his head today :( he's such a champ! Its neat how they already are starting to develop personalities. Jaxon is our laid back boy doesnt fuss much and sleeps alot, Chace is the trouble maker ripping out his oxygen and feeding tubes and anything else he can get his hands on. They are both so beautiful and i just cant get enough. Below are some pictures of all the days in between and up to their 34 week or 7th day in the NICU.
