My happy news is that I fit into a pair of non-maternity pants! Just thought I’d share.

The girls had a normal day. Evie is up to 19.5cc of 24 calorie milk every 3 hours and Maggie is at 20cc of the same plus something else that increases her calories. Maggie is still smaller and didn’t gain any weight today, so they are trying to pack on the grams. Evie received her last dose of antibiotics today and is not showing any signs of infection, so that should be cleared up. The family made kangaroo care into naptime today, it was quite nice. Maggie got to go back on the nasal cannula this afternoon and stay on as long as she handled it – which was until almost 9pm when she had her 2nd spell. She was probably getting tired and needed that positive pressure from the CPAP. She wasn’t real thrilled with her “scuba gear”, but I told her if she was going to stop breathing there would be consequences. It’s a lesson we all have to learn in life.
