Almost There!

Addie - 5lbs, 10.5oz
Charlie - 4lbs, 14oz

 (Elliot was born at 5lbs, 11oz - Addie has almost caught up!)

 We're feeling quite hopeful over here now. The girls had big gains last night. Their NG's have been out for 24 hours now, and they've fed without them for 48 hours. The girls will have their car seat tests today or tomorrow. They have to sit in their car seats for an hour while their hearts, lungs, and temperatures are monitored. If after an hour all that is stable, we're yet another step closer to leaving.

I think Thursday (today is Tuesday) is going to be our day. The girls have switched of their super-fortified 27-calorie supplement and down to the 24-calorie supplement. (Typically, preemies are sent home on 22-calorie, but since our girls are crazy-good breastfeeders and much prefer breast to bottle, they will get 24-cal during three bottle feedings a day/night.) Now that they've switched to 24-cal, they are going to want to see their weight for two days before they send them home.
