Both girls gained weight last night! That is a must have to go home this coming week. They also did the car seat test this morning at 6am and did fine. Evie did require a little higher blend of oxygen, but that will not be a big deal as she will go home on oxygen anyhow. Mom and Dad were both frustrated with some of the girls’ feedings today – but they made up for it at the 8pm feeding. Part of the frustration was probably that Dad finally took part in the late night feedings and was tired and Mom needed to get out of the RMD House. So, a nap for Dad and retail therapy for Mom must have done the trick. Yes, I realize we won’t have these luxuries going forward, but we’ll take them while we can get them. We also checked off watching the newborn video and CPR video (yesterday) from the list. We’re getting so close to going home – even the receptionists and nurses are on watch.
