Riley above - our nurse took this and emailed it to us!
who is who?? they are looking so much alike now. you try and guess...Day 40
Everything is going great. Reese is now also off of her nasal canula. We can now see both their faces clearly and pick them up so much easier. Reese is now 3lbs 5oz and Riley is right on her heels at 3lbs 4oz. The girls have been progressing on their feedings now too. Today they made it all the way to bolus feedings. Instead of using gravity we used a bottle for the first time. Each girl took 2mL from the bottle, then the rest got pushed through their tube. We will slowly try bottle feeding about twice a day, depending on how the girls are doing. Hopefully they'll take more from the bottle each time until they are getting their full feeds from the bottle.
Reese and Riley both had follow up eye exams on Tuesday, everything came back normal. We will try and post pics soon.

I'm so glad to hear that the eye tests came back normal. Sounds like they're doing really great! They are so cute! Thanks for telling us how much they weigh. It's hard to tell in the pictures.
