March 23rd was a big day for Gavin and Griffin. They both had baths! It was the first one that Randy and I knew of where we had the opportunity to participate. We had to watch the nurse demonstrate once for me on Gavin and later in the day once for Randy on Griffin. Gavin did a few sqawks and mostly enjoyed, and
Griffin mostly snoozed through the whole thing. I took a few photo's that we will try to post later tonight.
After bath time, both boys got to have a dinner reservation with momma. They ate like champs again and got to skip their tube feedings. Gavin has orders to start bottling during the night and nursing whenever he shows signs that he may want to. Griffin is getting those same orders today. (as we may have mentioned before, Griffin is about a half day behind his brother) Griffin already had the nursing orders but, not the bottling orders. Both boys will come home doing both which will allow Randy some time to feed the boys when he wants to. (He says he will take some of the evening/night shift provided the boys do go smoothly between bottle/nursing)
Both boys also had hearing screens and passed with flying colors.
Last night after bath time, the nurse asked if we have the house ready for the boys. We have had it ready for a few weeks now. She said at the rate the boys are progressing, they will most likely get discharged early.
HOORAY!!!!! We can't wait to bring our boys home!!! We will keep you posted as we know more.
Again, we will try to post some new photo's tonight when we get a little more time. The days go by so quickly for us as Randy goes to a full day of work and then goes to the hospital and I go up around 11AM and come home sometime between 8 and 9pm. Cellphones aren't allowed in the nursery so if you ever try to get ahold of us and can't, there is a good possibility that we are with our boys.
