Bright Eyed

So both boys have had their eyes open and seem to be doing more than just reacting to light (which is what I expected of such tiny guys). When Brody looks at you it seems to be with purpose and Cameron is following close behind. I love watching them watch me.

Cameron finished up his first dose of Indocin for his PDA and has an echo tomorrow with the cardiologist to see if they were able to "krimp" the vessel and close it for now. Last night his doctor also heard an arythmia or irregular heartbeats but his EKG came up normal as well as his electrolytes... something to keep an eye on, but they don't seem too concerned. Poor little guy had another pic-line removed and replaced and seemed pretty uncomfortable after. It is so hard to watch them squirm when they are hurt but it seems as if their senses are developing a bit for them to feel as much as it seems they do now. Cameron could use a little break from the annoyances of these little procedures. Overall he is still doing great and experiencing things that are expected of preemies.

Brody looks more and more like Brett every day. It's so cool to watch their features develop and get a view into who they will soon be. He had some fluid in his lung-again normal in preemies. He is up to 15cc's of milk and off of his "gatorade" completely. Pretty remarkable. Newborns at 40 weeks are usually on 30cc's at first.

We are trying to distract ourselves by getting the house together for the day that my boys come home. I am recruiting handy people as you all know my husband is not one of them :  )

By the way, when the twins are big and doing fantastic we are going to have the biggest Coming Home party in their honor!!! We ALL deserve a big celebration at the end of all of this.

World's smallest binky is still too big for the boys
