4 pound baby!

It was quite an eventful day today! When I got to the hospital this morning. I found Maggie spitting up most of her 6 am feeding at 8 am. She has had a little spit up in the past, but this was more than I had seen before. I called the nurse in and we let the doctor know. He adjusted her feeding volume back down to 28 mL to see if that would help. The nurse also noticed later in the day that her feeding tube may be a bit too shallow. She pushed the tube a little further in. With those two things combined, she hasn't spit up yet. Hopefully, that will do it for her!

After the spit up, we decided to give her a bath. It was bath day for them anyway and since she was a mess, it made sense to just get that done. We did Fin while we were at it too and got all that done before the 9 am feeding.

I held both Fin and Maggie at 9 am and Fin decided he forgot how to breathe and the nurse had to come stimulate him from the Brady he was having. Talk about a stressful start to the day! With him continuing to have episodes, they ordered a urine culture. Turns out, the only way to get that is by inserting a catheter. Poor buddy! He did well with that and we should have results within 48 hours. The doctor said if he continues to have episodes, we will just go ahead and put him on antibiotics to start working on any potential infection he might have.

In the middle of all that fun, Grandma Bouska and Mom came down to see the kids. It was great to have a little break from the madness and was so great to catch up with them. Mom hadn't seen them in their outfits yet, so I think she was impressed. Grandma thought they were pretty cute littles!

We had family rounds today at 2 pm. Our goals are basically to keep growing and try to get ready for a bottle. I really hope that we can try a bottle in the next week, but we will see how the kiddos do.

In other big news, we now have a 4 lb baby! Fin officially broke the 4 lb mark tonight when he was weighed (we are excited even if Fin doesn't look like he was). Maggie is not far behind at all at 3 lbs 14.4 oz.
