Fingers Crossed!

It is almost as if they know we are down one day and they do their best to make us happy the next.  We left the hospital tonight with a totally different attitude than last night.  They both started on the new fortifier this morning and Paige seems to like this a whole lot better.  Andrew may not love it as much, but his residuals aren't enough to make us overly worried yet.  We are so hopeful that this will work and we will see some progress with their weight gain after a couple days of good eating!

Paige also made our night by completing her first WHOLE feed by bottle!  Usually, she takes part of it and we have to tube feed her the rest.  Tonight she was wide awake and took the entire thing. This is really hard work for her though and she was exhausted and passed out immediately after.  Andrew also did wonderful with breastfeeding and lasted a good 15 minutes before tiring out.  Now we are just hoping he figures out the bottle sometime soon, too!

We have had lots of visitors over the past several days and have thoroughly enjoyed starting to introduce our little ones to others besides grandparents:)   While it still isn't possible for everyone to hold them, just having your company to break up our long days in the hospital is wonderful.  So thank you to those that visited and thank you for all the cards, phone calls, emails and support you have given us over the past several weeks.  It is truly what is getting us through this whole experience...
