Slow and Steady

It was a quiet day in the NICU for the Todd Twins today.  Stella continues to grow each day as they increase her feedings - today she has returned to her birth weight!  Trey is holding his own on the ventillator, although you can tell he desperately wants to breath on his own.  After several attempts to insert an IV for Trey, the staff decided to give it one more try tomorrow morning so keep your fingers crossed (otherwise the IV will have to be surgically placed).  Mommy and Daddy both had some cuddle time with baby Stella today.  Overall, both babies continue to make positive progress!

Stella loves to pose! (photo is a few days old)



P.S. We forgot to mention that Mommy changed Stella's diaper twice today.  Unfortunately the second time Mommy made her cry a little, which was only the second time we've ever heard her cry!

  4. I am so glad that everything continues to improve. I know it has been a long haul. Soon you will be home and cuddling and changing diapers for some time. It never gets old. Everyday there is a change or something new that they will do. The excitement has started and will continue. It is an amazing and fun time. Enjoy them it goes by fast. Love you and miss you. Jeanie
