updates on the kiddos!

Hazel is doing so well. She is regulating her temperature and has moved to an open air crib. She is also being weaned back onto oral feeds (they took her off them when there was a concern about a possible bowel obstruction). She's handling those well, too, so it's just a matter of time! We are hopeful that she'll be gaining weight on all oral feedings and home by the end of the week. I'm torn between trying to see her and care for my other little guys. David went by himself Sunday to see her and I tried to rest at home. I'm definitely going today, though. I've been pumping for her, which makes me feel like I'm doing something, but it's still hard. I miss her.

Here's a picture that David took at NICU on Sunday...


Charlie is the sweetest thing, and is nursing like a champ. He's really laid back so far (crossing my fingers it stays that way!). I'm definitely enjoying him.

Here he is Saturday in his "coming home" outfit from the hospital.


Jono shows very little interest in Charlie, but is settling back into his routine here at home more quickly than I would have anticipated. For that, we are grateful.

Here's a picture from his visit to the hospital to see us on Friday...
