Saturday August 30th

The last 24 hours have been amazing. Yesterday I held Faith for the first time!!!! She did pretty good for her first time. She is still touchy and had to have some extra oxygen however she did wonderful. It must have been a big motivator for her because today she pooped and she gained 100 grams (almost 4oz's). She now weighs 3 lbs 1 oz!! The Dr. also increased her feedings to 2cc's every 3 hours.

Ashleigh is still doing well. Daddy and I held her today. She gained 80 grams and now is 3 lbs 15 ozs. She is eating 36cc's every 3 hrs so just over 1 ounce at every feeding. I will work on breast feeding again tomorrow.

Love to all!
Michelle

Michelle,

Great to hear! Trying to keep Grandpa sane on the football field. Todd, sorry about the Spartan's opener. I still think they are headed in the right direction.
