Today the twins hit their official 1 month old mark! Both kids had another good day; Jacob was 2 lbs 3 oz for the whole day, now taking 20 CC's milk (from yesterday's 19), had 3 wet diapers (day), 2 wet diapers (night), 1 large dirty diaper tonight, 0 brady episodes (whole day), and is holding at 5% CPAP, 21% Room Air.
Jordan was 2 lbs 9 oz (day), 2 lbs 10 oz (night), now taking 23 CC's milk (1 CC increase from yesterday), had 2 dirty diapers (whole day), 4 wet diapers (day), 1 wet diaper (night), and is holding at 5% CPAP 25% Room Air.
Both babies have also had 0 desats today. Jacob is getting his daily dose of 5 mg. caffeine, and Jordan is getting 6.8 mg of caffeine each day.
Children's Memorial Hermann Hospital offers its patients the opportunity to request nurses who have been working at the hospital for at least 1 year to be assigned to their babies upon request when they work their shifts. The program is called "assigning a primary" and has to be requested by Sheri and I to each individual nurse we like. We have been very fortunate to have a lot of great people working with our twins; so far
we have Jennifer (our weekend primary, depicted below) who has agreed to help,
and Melinda (our nightly primary, also depicted below) who also has agreed to help.
These ladies are a class act, very knowledgeable and friendly, and really do an overall awesome job with the babies! They also have been very helpful with providing us with information we send to all of you, and we truly appreciate everything they do! In addition to these wonderful ladies, we are also looking for other nurses who have been regulars with the twins to primary for the weekdays.
Here is another treat for you, some motion files of Jacob and Jordan! Jacob, seen below, is working his eye to hand coordination by grabbing his pacifier (which he spit out at first, and then changed his mind and wanted it back:
And Jordan, squirming her way to freedom!
Check back for more updates soon!
