The girls' doctor made a few changes today. They are both still doing great. They are going to try Mallory on a four hour feeding schedule - she has been so sleepy during her bottle feedings - we can't wake her up to eat, no matter what we do (but of course as soon as we lay her down when she's finally done eating - she's WIDE awake, 'Hey, What's going on guys, where ya been?') So, they're hoping the extra hour will make her more hungry so she'll take the entire bottle - and she'll be getting all of those by bottle, as long as she can do it. She's doing great though and gaining weight like crazy. Kelby is being switched over to the same thing that Mallory has been doing - she's getting 6 a day, she'll get two bottles, then one tube feeding, she's been taking bottles like a champ - twenty minutes flat. Mallory is now 6 lb 6 oz and Kelby is 5 lb 13 oz. They're getting so big (of course that's a relative term)...

Howdy,
I can totally relate to this posting. It would be like 60 ml (2 oz for the non-nicu parents;)) and they'd fall asleep. The kids weigh more than my kids did! Wow! It's just amazing what a little lyin' around and being fed can do huh? The countdown is on you guys. Tick tock.
