Yesterday was a great day, but the new neonatologist that was caring for the girls was great at setting our expectations very high and then pulling them down! This morning we were encouraged to find that, yet again, another neonatologist would be seeing the girls but his expectations were realistic and true! He is very hopeful that the girls will get to come home tomorrow as long as.... they don't loose weight tonight! So in order to get ready for that today is a day full of tests and paperwork that we welcome freely. Aspen is above currently in her "Car seat Study." This tests to make sure, since they are so small, that they can tolerate car seats without any heart rate or breathing problems. So far so good! It's amazing how tiny they appear when the car seats swallow them whole! :)
Here is Brooke during her study. Both girls continue to sleep soundly in their car seats, which makes us happy, because Hannah was a car seat screamer from day 1! :) So today's report is truly encouraging news. Only a few more hurdles to overcome. The best news is that today's doc agreed to let the girls "room in" with us tonight, removing any and all monitors! That's right... the girls are ours tonight! They will sleep in our room, wear their own clothes, and I'm sure we won't get any sleep since we are so excited! ;) So please pray that the girls gain or maintain their weight tonight and the current neonatologist maintains his enthusiasm with the girls progress and allows them to go home tomorrow instead of the middle of next week. The girls will be 36weeks tomorrow and they are so big! :)
