8 weeks old

I cannot believe that Lane and Sloan are now 8 weeks old! I was looking back at their 6 week old pictures, and I cannot believe how much they have changed in the last couple of weeks. They both continue to amaze us everyday!

Lane is growing! In the last week she has consistenly gained weight. She now weighs 3 pounds 9 ounces, and is filling out her preemie clothes! She has also been off and on CPAP twice. The first time she was on high flow she did really well for a couple of days and then got tired. The doctors put her back on CPAP for a few days and then tried high flow again. The second time she was only able to tolerate it for about a day, when the decision was made to return to CPAP. We were alittle disappointed to have her back on CPAP, but of course we want what's best for her. Hopefully, this will only make her lungs stronger! Lane continues to love bath time (every Wednesday and Sunday) and her pacifier. She makes the loudest smacking noises when it's in her mouth! But, I believe her favorite thing is when her daddy holds her. The other day Scott was holding her and I overheard him telling her that she can never get married because he wanted her to live with him forever!:)

Our little man Sloan is over his infection!! His blood cultures came back negative. AMEN!! Hopefully we are done with those nasty infections. He is also growing. Sloan now weighs 3 pounds 4 ounces. He has the cutest short little legs and arms:) Sloan is still on the ventilator, but the doctors are still weaning his rate by 2 each day. He is now on a rate of 26, so we are getting closer to our goal of 15. I hope and pray that he will be on CPAP sometime next week. Unlike Lane, Sloan does NOT like bath time! Scott lets me know that little boys do not like baths! He does love a good back massage though. A couple of minutes of rubbing his back and he is calm and falling back to sleep.

Thank you all for your continued prayers and support! I wake up every morning feeling extremely blessed for my new little family.
