**Chris just called on his way home from his evening visit with the girls. Both girls are off their IVs and by 5:00 this morning, they will be at 30cc feedings--the maximum feeding amount! Norah sucks down her feeding within 4 to 5 minutes, so she will nipple feed every other feeding.
Since they are both off their IVs, they will hopefully get to co-sleep very soon. I wonder if Norah will try to dance on Audrey like she used to in my tummy!

Day 6 of the girls' life....
Norah: Still a silly little girl! She wore a shirt today and got her IV moved from her head back to her foot...not medical advances, but both sure made us smile! Chris fed her a bottle today, then she konked out and slept the rest of our visit in our arms. Yesterday I got to nurse her. So neat!
Audrey: Had the cutest hiccups today (see sideways video). The nurse and nurse practitioner could not detect a murmur in her heart anymore--Praise the Lord!! [I hadn't updated here, but she had a PDA--a small hole in the heart common in preemies. We were praying it would close on its own]. She also had her IVs removed and we'll see how she does through the night. I got to breastfeed Audrey today and was amazed at how she knew just what to do!! She was wide awake our entire visit.
Ethan: Still hanging in there....but also showing some "What's up with you guys being gone all the time??" disobedience (though still very little...he's such an awesome kid. We are blessed by him!).
Daddy: Just left again for a nighttime visit with his girls. He's the best husband and daddy in the world.
Mommy: Three words. Exhausted Milk Machine.
