The Girls Hang Out


Last night, the nurse put the girls together for the first time. They are certainly used to hanging out together in Mommy's tummy. They still aren't in the same crib because the NICU is so busy that a big crib is not available yet.

Here Mila is in the blue hat and Sophia is chomping on her pacifier. Sophia looks like she is plotting something, and she probably is.

Here is Mom holding the two girls together for the first time.

Both girls are doing really well. Mila took to her blood transfusion well and her color is smuch better.

Both girls are having fewer spells, which is great. We're really hoping that they decide to take Mila off CPAP today. The only time she ever cries is when they put the tubes in her nose



Here is Mila showing off her tongue last night. She does not have a piggy nose as pictured here. Her nose is taped up for the CPAP tubes.

Mila lost a little weight yesterday, but it doesn't really count. When they did the blood transfusion they gave her a diuretic to keep her fluid levels down. Sophia is still packing on weight and is almost 4 pounds now.
