Twins Doing Very Well - Hopefully Getting a New Crib

Both of the girls continue to do well, and both are over the 5 pound mark. They look more like each other every day. Sometimes when I get home, it's hard for me to tell which one is in a picture I have taken.

Here's Sophia doing something funny with her hands - we haven't quite figured it out yet.

Sophia had low hematocrit level so they gave her a blood transfusion yesterday. She wasn't really symptomatic, but they decided to play it safe. Today she's very pink and continues to try to do baby gymnastics. Sophia has taken after her sister and is now on Nutramigen as well. We're now freezing breastmilk for when the girls switch back. I told Myra that, if we get enough, we could just start making cheese.

We're hoping that the girls will finally get into a crib that they can share today. The NICU has been so full that we have to wait until some other babies get discharged.

We've been bottle-feeding the girls twice a day now. Mila has been chugging down nearly her entire feed, and Sophia is following close behind. Here's a picture of the voracious Mila trying to swallow the entire bottle in one gulp.
