I can’t believe the twins are 8 weeks
old today- time sure flies. Jack had a good Sunday here at home and Harper had
a good Sunday at her private NICU suite.
Jack had a little bit of a rough night
on Saturday, insisting that he stay awake for a majority of the 11-2 stretch and
beyond (almost 3 before we got him to sleep officially). The night left both
Tony and I frazzled and longing for a 28 hour day, if only to sleep for 4 hours
without interruption. We also tried out a new schedule the lactation consultant
put together for us- we will give it another go tomorrow night and see how it
works then. With Tony going back to work on Monday, we have to find a routine
that we can really groove. Thank goodness Nana will be back tonight so we can
add another person to the rotation.
As for Harper, when I went to see her at
11:30, she wasn’t too interested in eating so I got to snuggle with her while
she was fed through her feeding tube. This, apparently, was a good rest break
for her because then she completed a bottle at 2:30 pm for her nurse and took
75% of her bottle for Tony at 5:30 pm. I am hoping that this will begin an
eating trend, but I’m not holding my breath. In the meantime, Harper has been
growing and is up to 5 lbs 6 oz. I hope we can have our little girl home with
us by their March 6th due date.
Picture of the day goes to Jack, all
snuggled up and sleeping on his dad’s shoulder after his tummy time workout and
dinner. Too cute not to share!
