Just a quick update to say we're still in the nicu (ending week two with the girls here). They've made lots of progress and are in open isolettes, regulating their own temps, bottle and breast feeding (although they still need work in those departments), pooping and peeing and gaining an ounce a day each. Juliette struggled some with throwing up there for a while (they increased her food amount too fast I think - they both still have feeding tubes until they can show they will eat enough from bottle/breast) but that issue seems to have subsided. Elia's "thing" is that she is a lazy eater, keeps her tongue at the roof of her mouth making it harder for me to feed her, and occasionally forgets she needs to suck, swallow, AND breathe all at the same time.

Sorry about BFing/pumping. I had a hard time with DD & she was FT. She had her suck reversed & pumping is so disappointing in the beginning as you get so little!
