Best lunch hour EVER!!!

So in the midst of a busy week, I popped down to the hospital during my lunch hour to see the babies and just sit & observe for a few minutes...

And much to my surprise, they had been moved to a different room, with a whole wall of east facing windows!!! Such a beautiful view of the mountains. But even better than that, when I walked in they were both in open cribs!!! Hooray!!! What a fantastic surprise!!!

They have moved out of their isolettes, and are wearing cute little footie pajamas, along with a warm knit hat. They have been there all day today (Collin made the move last night), and have been holding their temperatures very well. They of course will be monitored closely, but as long as they can hold their own body temperatures, this will be the permanent arrangement. We can pick them up whenever we like, and snuggle with them - I did that today at lunch while Collin had his feeding. Emery was sound asleep.

They are doing very well. Open crib, warm pjs - life is good! :) Both are breathing comfortably on their own, and are holding their food well (only occasional spit ups)... next they will start to learn how to nurse.

We are very blessed. We're glad they are doing so well.

  4. How exciting that your cute little babies are growing and doing so well! What a big step to leave those isolettes behind. And don't they just seem 'healthier' when they are wearing real clothes?! Congratulations! They will be home before you know it!
