40 Days and 40 Nights

Addie - 5.5oz
Charlie - 4lbs, 9oz!

Way to go Charlie! She is working hard to catch up to Addie!

Charlie and Addie both took full bottles for their 2am feed. Now if they could do that more often, we could get out of here soon!


Stuff I want to remember about the NICU:

1. The way that everyone refers to our girls as the Amreen girls. Because my health insurance is under my hyphenated last name, the girls are referred to by my maiden name. Which is pronounced Am*rine - you know, how it is spelled. Yet everyone calls them the Amreen girls.

2. Giving the girls baths in little plastic tubs. These are the same tubs they store their personal possessions in. Little tiny little bitty tubs.

3. Worrying about the other babies in the pod. A baby had a Brady and needed a stim in room E1, and I was so disappointed for their family. They aren't headed home anytime soon, so it didn't matter to them the way it mattered to us two days ago.
