Day 19 in the NICU

Another great day for the girls!! The occupational therapist came today to check to see if the girls were ready to try and feed from a bottle for the first time. It's kind of a tricky process for preemies as they sometimes don't have the right coordination to get the sucking, swallowing and breathing process down. The goal is have them be able to take their designated amounts within a 20 minute timeframe. BOTH girls were able to take the bottle and finish within 20 minutes!! I was so proud of them!! I have to scan in the pictures of them with their bottles so you'll have to be a bit patient on those :).

Kamryn is now up to 4lbs, 12.5 ounces!! Kayla weighs 3 lbs, 7.5 oz!! They are both growing so fast!!

Here's a picture of Kayla sleeping:
