Mila had a follow-up X-Ray this morning and everything appears fine. She hasn't had any more bleeding and is acting and appearing like she feels fine. They will start feeding her again with a predigested formula called Nutramigen at her 1:30 feeding today. It will be none too soon for her, since she has been trying to devour her pacifier for 2 days.
The nurse gave her a little sucrose yesterday, which apparently acts as an analgesic for babies. Daddy prefers chocolate donuts.
Sophia is still doing great - nothing really to report there. Somehow she got her diaper half-off yesterday which left us with quite a bit to clean up. I guess she has inherited her father's sense of humor.
The girls got to meet their Tita Georgie last night. Sophia snagged Georgina's finger and didn't want to give it back. They really enjoyed her visit.
Both girls were smiling a lot yesterday. The day nurse they had said, "it's just gas." I beg to differ and I have found research that says otherwise. Babies even smile in the womb. While their smiles are not necessarily social until about 4 weeks, they do indicate that the babies are relaxed and contented. Within a couple weeks of birth babies will respond to parents' facial expressions and may begin to imitate them.
