On the first day of June, I want to take this opportunity to say Thank you to all who have been praying for our girls and walking with us on this journey. It fills my heart to know that there are so many people out there caring for our little baby girls and it has helped me remember that we are not in this alone. So thank you so much for being with us and I look forward to the day when you all will get to meet our ‘not so little’ girls.

The girls had a day of feeding and growing. They are still increasing their feedings and both gained over 40 grams today. Maggie is still on her CPAP, but went down on her pressure to 3. Both girls still have little spells where they stop breathing, but it is typical preemie behavior as their brains are just not quite mature enough. Mom and Dad spent a couple hours in the NICU holding the girls, reading stories, and chatting with the nurses. I think we have a couple positive steps to look forward to tomorrow, but will report when we get there. This evening the girls looked all comfy as they were swaddled in for a good night’s sleep.
