Above is Reese laid back enjoying her lunch!

Above, the nurses are all awsome! We played around and they did plaster molds of their hands. The one on the left is Reese and the right is Riley. That is a quarter if you can't tell. You can see their wrinkles, veins, finger nails.... it is really cool. It will be something they will have when they get older to see just how small they are. Maybe we will do their feet next!

Update

Day 18 in the NICU. The girls are doing great. Riley is up to 1/2oz of breastmilk per feeding and is continuing to go up every 12 hours. We are hoping by this weekend she will no longer be on any IV fluids and just on breastmilk and caffine. She weighs in at 970grams (2lbs 2oz). Reese isn't up to 1/2oz yet but will be there very soon. Maybe by next week she will also be off of IV fluids and just on breastmilk. She is weighing in at 1130grams (2lbs 8oz). Tom and I continue to hold the girls everyday.
