Bring on the bottles
Avery, Will, and Alivia are now working on conquering the art of drinking from a bottle. Before they can go home they must be able to do all of their meals through a bottle. Avery is leading the way usually able to drink all of her bottle before getting tired. Will is just a little bit behind her but takes a little longer and sometimes unable to finish. Little Alivia gives a great effort but still only able to finish about half before growing to tired. The nurses describe the bottle feeding as a mini marathon for them because of the energy it requires. What they don't finish they give the rest through the little tubes in their nose that you see on the pictures, this tube goes down to the stomach. Over all they are doing excellent gaining weight and building strength. The nurse said on Monday they were awake and alert and so cute so she had to start taking pictures. About 145 pictures later she finished. It looks like they had a good time.

Shana & Scott........ your little babies are the most beautiful babies we've ever seen! I love these pictures of them all snuggled close to each other. We are so grateful you started a blog and are dying to come see these babies when they finally come home! We love you guys and those babies sure look good on you!!!
ReplyDeletethey are soooo stinkin cute! Can't wait to see them! Hope everyone is doing great still! Let me know if you need anything! Love - Mindy
ReplyDeleteOh Shana - do those pictures and your descriptions of life in the NICU bring back lots of memories of when my kido's were born. They are all so cute and are already changing so much. Isn't it amazing how fast they gain weight? I remember before Tanner came home he had to eat 25cc's in 15 min. or he would be burning more calories than he was taking in - does that sound familiar? It's crazy how you have to be so careful to not get them "over stimulated" and all the other things that you can and can't do. I am so happy for you guy's and can't wait till the day when you get to bring them all home. Love, Mindy (the crazy one in Sanpete)
