Kamryn Update: Kamryn now weighs 4lbs, 7.4 oz!! She is doing great on the gavage feedings and is now up to 40 ml/3 hours. She had her PICC line (IV tubes) removed today which is a great milestone!! I can't tell you how nice it was to have one less set of tubes coming off my little girl! They also moved her gavage tube from her mouth to a smaller tube through her nose...this is in preparation for trying to start her feedings on a bottle sometime this week. So she will have a thin tube going through her nose into her stomach to assist with feedings, but her mouth will now be free to begin learning how to use a bottle and/or breast feed!! This is the next step in being able to come home!
Here is a cute picture that Kiko got before they removed the tube from her mouth. She is also able to wear "real" preemie clothing now, so she's wearing her first outfit from her "Aunt Erica" :). 
Here is a picture of Kamryn without any tubes obstructing her face!! This is the first time since she was born that I've been able to see her beautiful little face!!
Kayla Update: Kayla is also doing really well! She now weighs 3 lbs, 3.4 oz!! She had her head ultrasound this morning and the Dr's indicated no changes. She still has the Grade I and Grade II bleeds into the ventricles in her brain, but they haven't gotten worse which is a relief. They will also be trying to move Kayla to bottle feedings sometime soon as well! She is up to 18 ml/3 hours for her feedings so she's progressing nicely! I'm hoping that they will remove her PICC line sometime tomorrow or Wednesday! We didn't get any pictures of Kayla today unfortunately :(. I was holding her most of the time and Kiko was holding Kamryn so we didn't have any free hands to take pics. We'll take a bunch of her tomorrow though!
