Received a call from Dr. Breed this morning. Everything is still going well. The test of their electrolytes came back okay. Abby is getting her second dose of fortifier (she took to the first one well), and had her IV come out last night. Both girls' feedings have increased...Hazel is up to 22 ml per, and Abby is catching up at 21 ml per feeding. The doctor said he was going to increase their caffeine, as it may help eliminate some of the desats and bradys that the girls have had the last few days/nights. Anyway, aside from that, really nothing new to report - which is actually a good thing.
We did the "short' visit again today ... arriving around 2 and leaving after their 5:30 feeding/diaper change. Today was my turn to hold Hazel. Her head was just below my chin, and about halfway through she reached up her hand and it was in the nape of my neck. She also did some twitching and leg raising, too (the latter was interesting, to say the least, since her legs were tucked underneath her body.
Matt held Abby - I got a great picture of them napping together:
Here's one of me and Hazel (self portraits are kinda tough with the iPhone):
After visiting the girls, Matt took me to dinner at the California Pizza Kitchen in the Domain. The weather was beautiful today, and it was nice to walk around a bit and enjoy peoplewatching to get my mind off of heavier things. Of course, I completely forgot that it was Friday night, so while we were seated immediately, there was still a slight wait for our food. The waiter came by several times to apologize (not that we were complaining or showing any signs of impatience), and he even sent his manager over to say something. While the manager was talking to us, he noticed the NICU ID bracelets on Matt's wrist, and apparently knew enough to realize it meant we had just had a baby. Upon finding out we had just had twins, he comped us two desserts. Very cool of him.
