A quick update for tonight - I am exhausted!!
The boys are both continuing to do well. Charlie was up to 4 lbs, 7 oz. this evening and Alex has broken the 4 lb mark! (He is 4 lbs, .35 oz.) We saw them at our 11:00 visit and I fed both of them. Alex seemed to have nursed but we weighed him before and after he ate and the scale showed he hadn't gotten anything. However, both the lactation consultant and I knew he had gotten something because you could hear him swallowing. So. . he finished up with a bottle while we were there. Charlie nursed well so he was fine - we will do a pre/post weight check with him tomorrow.
This evening, we got a late start because of church activities, so Charlie had already eaten when we arrived and Alex was sleepy so he was being fed through his tube. So I sat and cuddled with Charlie and once Alex's feed was done, Michael held him. Alex spit up a little on Michael - just enough to remind you of all the fun that is to come once those boys get home. :)
Again, we're so thankful for their continued improvement each day. We are truly blessed.
