Making my day

This morning the Dr. came in and said the lights can be turned off because their jaundice is down to a 6 which is really good. Their temperature is still lower than they want but is a lot better. They are going to try turning off the heat to see if the babies maintain their temp on their own. We did get the good news that their IV's can come out, so we let them take the one out of Matthew, but left the one in Michael. Matthew's temperature reached higher than what was set on the monitor. Great News! So they disconnected the skin temp monitor and he is now swaddled to see if he can keep his temp up on his own. They will be put in an open bed that has a light most likely tomorrow. The nurse thinks that we will be staying over night again tomorrow and probably discharged on Saturday.

Michael scooted himself around. He is going to be just like his cousin Cassie.
Matthew with out his IV sleeping peaceful
Gina came to visit and brought me and Tim so Lion's Choice. (Thanks Gina) We were able to stay with the babies and Tim didn't have to leave me alone.
Michael sleeping on his side. Is he going to be the first to roll over?
My mom, Chrissy, Alli, Jimmy, Jenna and Cassie came to visit. I was so happy. I missed all the kids so much. I can't believe that I really won't be able to go there and help her out anymore. I know it has only been a week, but they seem like they have gotten. Then again I know that mine are just really small.Me and Cassie. Seeing them and Alli made my day.
I have missed them all so much.

One more little note. Tim was getting worried that Michael did not poop all day. When his prayers were answered. Michael pooped so much Tim could smell it on the outside of the incubator. Tim said that Michael was keeping it warm just for his daddy to change it. It was baking at the right temperature. I am glad that it was my turn to feed Matthew.

I'm so glad to hear that the boys are doing better. I read this post before yesterday's post, and when I scrolled down and saw the pictures of them in the blue with the IV's I started crying (even though I already talked to you last night about it!!)! I'm so happy everything's fine now. The boys still look great!

Pretty soon those baby boys will be hunks of chunks like their cousins Jimmy, Sully & Cory. It will be hard to remember them this tiny. I'm glad they are doing better. Mom & Dad too. Good poop story.

Love Mom

ok...you made me tear up. I'm so glad to hear they are doing better and hopefully can go home Saturday. I can't imagine how emotional it must be for both of you. We will be praying for you! Poopie diapers are the best! :)

Yes, keep the poop stories coming! I swear, you could be part of Jim's family! That is all they talk about is poop :)

Oh, and glad the babies are doing better and we helped cheer you up. I know how depressing them hospitals can be after a while! They are so cute.
