Meet the Cordova Twins

The Cordova Twins:

Jordan (pronounced JOR-den, in Biblical & English derived from (yarad) meaning "descend" or "flow down". It is also the name of the river which flows between the countries of Jordan and Israel where Jesus Christ was baptized by John the Baptist).

Jacob (pronounced JAY-kep, in English and Biblical means "holder of the heel" or "supplanter", and (Ya'aqov'el) meaning "may God protect". In the Old Testament, Jacob (later called Israel) was the son of Isaac and Rebecca and the father of the twelve founders of the twelve tribes of Israel. He was born holding his twin brother Esau's heel)

Jacob & Jordan Update 3-11-10

Family, Friends, Prayer Warriors,

Two more big milestones were achieved for the Cordova twins today: Both were taken off of their daily caffeine doses, and the nurses have now stopped weighing the diapers, instead they are only counting how many each baby has for each day. These are two very good signs because it means that their hearts are strong, and their bowel and kidney output is very good and does not need to be monitored and supplemented. Also, Jacob had his first go around with natural feeding, and was very successful! Outstanding news!

Jacob's official report for the day is:
3 residuals
2 lbs. 13 oz
0 brady episodes
21% - 30% Room Air on the nasal cannula, with 1 liter flow
26 CC's of fortified milk
4 dirty diapers
8 wet diapers

Jordan's official report for today is:
3 residuals on feeds
3 lbs. 9 oz
5% CPAP 21% Room Air
32 CC's milk
3 dirty diapers
7 wet diapers

I finally got some time to update the web album. Lots of photos including stills of Jordan's first bottle feeding! Below are some video clips you might enjoy!
