Both babies are doing very well. Carter is under the lights for jaundice but has regained his birth weight and is nursing. He will likely go home before Olivia because Olivia has to have IV antibiotics for an infection, and those will be up on Tuesday. That would be the earliest she could go home. Olivia is eating 30cc of milk each time, which is a little over an oz. Carter is up to 26cc every 3 hours. She has also regained her birthweight.
Olivia was dressed in a cute little onesie and hat supplied by the hospital. Carter has only a diaper on due to lights. Forrest has posted pics of todays visit on fb if you want to look at them. Carter got fed by me (after Sarah the cow) and Olivia got fed by Liah. Carter was much more awake - he cried - first sound I have heard either make altho Olivia did kind of mew when I was holding her.
The nurse told Sarah to come back for the late feeding only today - breast feeding is harder for the babies and they needed the rest until tonight. They will be bottle fed at 3 and 6. SHe is also very worn out in that she went to the hospital at 8 and did not come home until 12:30. She will be need the quiet herself for a few hours.
It was wonderful to hold the babies, and I look forward to them being at home when we can cuddle them.
