Eating




The boys are still doing very well. They are now eating a lot of their food by mouth. The last few nights Mike has given one a bottle and I breast feed the other. They let them try for 30 minutes and then they need to rest (it takes a lot of energy for them to try).

Nate is over 4 pounds and Will is getting close. Nate is growing at a faster rate than Will right now. They are spending about 12 hours of each day co-bedding.

We are having a great time with my family here. They are a ton of help. The greatest help is being here in the evenings so both MIke and I can go to the hospital. We are also having fun playing games, playing with Derek, and laughing a lot. Derek loves playing hide and go seek with Germa and Auntie Alli. It is a riot to watch as Derek does not quite get all the rules. Derek is very loved and doted on!

So encouraging to see their growth and even the ability to eat and maybe nurse as well. That is so great to have that physical contact. Blessings to you all and we continue to pray for them to gain full health.

In Christ,
