It's May

Morning all, I have a fun story for you. Corey had the day off yesterday because he worked an overnight shift the night before. So he slept until early afternoon and we headed up to the hospital. We got there just before Dillan's 2pm feeding so Corey volunteered to change her diaper and take her temp. Mid change I heard this big bang. It was Corey's arm banging against the isolette because after he'd taken Dillan's diaper off she decided to poop all over him, her clothes, and all her blankets. It was great. Here are Corey and I, first time parents, trying to figure out how to clean all of this up and change her clothes through the two little holes in the isolette. I'm pretty sure it took us 15 min but we finally got her cleaned and then Corey went back to redressing her. It was a great first time parenting experience.

Let's see, I didn't get Dillan's weight last night but she is eating 22ml per feeding with the extra calories added in. Her oxygen level is at 1/2l and she does really well. 1/2l is the amount of pressure that the oxygen is flowing into her nose. It was lowered yesterday from 3/4 to 1/2 so she is moving in the right direction. Corey had her out holding her for over an hour and she did really good.

Tyler continues to be our little fighter. He is up to 26ml per feeding also with the extra calories. However, his oxygen was increased yesterday to 2l to see if that helps with some of his spells. Both Dillan and Tyler also get a boost of caffeine in their feedings once a day which is supposed to help with the spells they have. Tyler has 2 days left of antibiotics and then his little IV can come out. I had him out for over an hour as well yesterday and he did really well. He always seems to when he's with mom and dad.

When we had the kids out yesterday our nurse took a picture of all of us. If I have time this weekend I will post it. It will be our first family photo. Today our plan is to work on getting the kids room set up. We've got a lot of work to do there but it should be fun. Later this afternoon my sister-in-law Jen is coming up and we may actually go register at Target for baby stuff. I never got a chance to do it before the kids were born so we're doing it after the fact. I'm really excited. Hope everyone has a great Saturday.

Love
Corey, Joscy, Dillan & Tyler :)
