It is another fairly quiet day for the girls. Both girls continue to increase their feedings and are still on their caffeine. Evie had her blood transfusion today and also started on some antibiotics because they found some bacteria in her trachea. It would be nice if we could get that ET tube out, but she's not quite ready for it yet.

Mom got to kangaroo with Little Maggie today. She cried when we moved her out of her bed, it is such a tiny little cry, but so sweet to hear. But she settled down quickly and took a nice long nap. Since Evie was in the process of getting her blood, she didn't get to come out and play. The girls had a great day and were so peaceful in the evening we didn't want to bug them.

I forgot to mention that Joe and I did get to see Annie and Ryan Polk and their kids Murron and Macallan (Mac) as they were passing through Bozeman. Mac is one of those “big well ugly babies” (BWUB) as the NICU nurses refer to them – but we don’t believe they are ugly – just BIG! Mac is quite a content baby, and I did get to hold him briefly, until he decided he was hungry. Then I handed him back, because my babies aren’t quite that big, don’t cry, and I’m not sure what to do with those BWUBs yet. But it was great to get to see them (and Adam Armstrong and Shane) before they finished their 16 hour drive back to Reno. Who would have thought our kids were going to be that close in age??
