1 Month Birthday!

It is hard to believe the girls are already 1 month old!

In some ways it feels like they were just born yesterday.  At the same time it feels like they have been in the NICU forever!

The NICU has gone down on their baby count, so the girls are on opposite sides of the room again.  But here is one more cute picture of them together.  It is pretty random when it happens, but Naomi has found her thumb a couple of times~we will see if that sticks.

I am bummed I didn't have these dolls when the girls were first born.  But starting from 1 month I am hoping to take their pictures with these dolls to show their growth.

Naomi on top with her doll and Colette on the bottom with her doll.

 Colette is now 4 pounds 6 ounces and 17 1/2 inches long!

Naomi is now 4 pounds 7 ounces and also 17 1/2 inches long! 

Naomi has been doing really well with her oxygen and was showing signs that she didn't really need it anymore.  So the other day I walked into their room and this is what I saw~ Naomi without her nasal canula!!!  It was so fun to be able to see one side of her face with no tape/tubes at all!!!  

She must have realized how nice it is to not have tubes constantly stuck up your nose.  Because later that night she pulled out her feeding tube and was sleeping peacefully without anything sticking in her nose.

*She stayed off of her oxygen for almost 24 hours.  They have since put her canula back in.  She is on the smallest amount possible.  Since they aren't super close to coming home, they figure she might as well have it and do really well than struggle even a little without it.
