One Month

So far, so good -- James has continued to tolerate his feedings today. We're really happy about how well he's done so far, and we hope he's able to keep it up! I got to do some kangaroo time with him today, which was very nice. Of course, they had waited to put Matthew on his cannula until we came in, but Mike didn't make it in today because he had a bad headache. So poor Mattie didn't get his kangaroo and cannula time today! (Mike held him for a long time yesterday, though, and he looked like he was sleeping very comfortably in his isolette when I was there.) I'm sure this is only the first of many times as a twin mom that I'll feel a little guilty for not being able to give the same attention to both of them at once.

It was a busy day in Pod F -- a new baby had come in right before I arrived, so now they're up to full capacity. (They were also doing a procedure on one of the other babies, so I walked in to a room full of people in scrubs and masks -- yikes! Everything was fine, but it was definitely busier in there than usual.)

Edited to add (9:20 PM): Well, the last check of James's residuals revealed a little bit of greenish stuff -- so not as promising as before. We'll just have to see how it goes, though.
