Yesterday Sloan joined his sister in the 4 Pound Club!! Today he gained 2 more ounces, so he is now weighing in at 4 pounds 2 ounces. He is getting so big! I am also starting to nurse Sloan two times a day as long as he is awake during his assessment time. I love my bonding time with him, and it is teaching me the true meaning of patience:)
Lane was able to go into an open crib for about 12 hours, but she was having a little bit of a rough time so the doctor decided to put her back into her isolette and try again in a few days. It was about the same time she started nursing, so it may have just been too much for her to handle at once. She is doing great now! Lane is also steadily gaining more weight. Tonight she weighed 4 pounds 10 ounces. She is on her way to 5 pounds!
This past weekend we also learned something new about both Lane and Sloan...they LOVE to suck their thumbs!:) I know, I know...it's a bad habit, but I decided that if it makes them happy that's great!
Glad to hear they are doing so well!
ReplyDeleteHappy for they are doing better and growing so well! Hang in there - the end is in sight!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait for your little ones to head home.
ReplyDeleteSo glad the babies are doing well. So happy for you guys! Before you know it, they will be at home! I wouldn't worry about the thumb sucking either. Will, was a thumb sucker until almost 5, but he was always very content and very happy. Babies who suck their thumb can self soothe and tend to be the happiest babies. We are continuing to pray for strength and growth and can't wait for the day you will finally be able to take those precious little ones home.
