Time Sure Does Fly By

These little girls have been here for 4 weeks now! And on Tuesday they will hit the milestone of 1 month! Wow, does time go by fast or what?! It is such a joy to watch these little girls grow and progress. Still so tiny, but beautiful and sweet nonetheless. 

The little Ellie Jelly Bean is doing fantastic. She is starting to learn how to take a bottle. She had 31ml yesterday and Shannon will start trying to feed her 3 times a day.  They have also decided to try again on lifting the top off of her incubator to see if she does better this time holding her own temperature. If all goes well, she will be placed in a crib! Bottles and cribs just move her one step closer to going home!

Tiny Trenna’s wound is healing up really well. Remember all those tubes and IVs 4 weeks ago? Well, we are down to just one feeding tube and the CPAP mask. Amazing! We are hoping that very soon they can take the mask off and give her the nasal tubes, as this will be much more comfortable for the little gal. Since her wound is healing nicely, all those calories going towards healing can start going towards gaining some body weight. However, she did lose an ounce this week and is back down to 1lb 14oz, but the nurses will be upping her calories to 26, and we think that she will start gaining some of that weight in no time. Come on 2lbs!

Everyone enjoy your Saturday and the rest of the weekend, I know we all sure will, visiting these two precious girls. It’s always a wonderful day when the whole family can get together!
