The girls checked out okay at their first pediatric appointment. The doctor said they looked good and had gained weight since leaving the NICU.

Welcome Home

 

The girls really started getting the hang of eating earlier this week. They were doing so well with the bottles and nursing that the doctor ordered their feeding tubes removed on Wednesday and said they could go home on Friday if they kept gaining weight. So, at 6 lbs, 6 oz and 5 lbs, 6 oz, they were discharged from the hospital today.

No beeping monitors or nurses here

 

The girls found it relaxing

 

Warming up with Daddy

As of today, Brooke is now 5 lbs, 11 oz and Eve is 4 lbs, 11 oz. Grow girls, grow!  The doctors say that they will probably need to stay in the N.I.C.U. for another week or two while they learn to nurse and take bottles better.
