Since Matt had to work, I spent the afternoon working on the nursery and watching (more like listening in the background) to the NFL draft. I miss football! ;) Then, as in the recent tradition, I went up to the NICU for the evening.
The girls are really starting to get the hang of breastfeeding! Tonight Hazel latched on for over 15 minutes (prob closer to 20). AND, after it looked like she was too tired to continue, she finished off a bunch more via bottle. Woo! Abby, as usual, worked at her own pace; for the first 10-15 minutes or so, she didn't do much of anything, and then suddenly (just as I was about to give up) she started, and ended up feeding for probably about 10 minutes. Woo!
Dr. Breed said the girls were doing well, and so he was planning to take them off caffeine tomorrow to see how they'd do. Apparently Abby hasn't had an apnea in three days (since 4/24), which is pretty awesome!
I watched Hazel get weighed tonight. She didn't seem happy about it at all ... the nurse changed her diaper, then stripped her naked and put her on the scale (which was warmed). She fussed a bit. :) The good news is she is now 4 pounds 13.6 oz, so slightly higher than yesterday. The nurse also said she was about 2 inches longer than when she was born, but I'll double check that tomorrow when I visit - not sure if I heard that correctly.
Matt decided he was well enough to finally come visit the girls, and arrived about 10:00ish. Since I was holding Abby, he held Hazel. I took some pictures, of course. :)
