Tuesday's update... and a new video!

Hi everyone, we just got home from our daytime visit. The babies are doing well. They are all going to start receiving vitamin and iron supplements, as anemia is common for preemies. They are liquid and given orally, so IV's are not needed. Also, they're all receiving close to 1 oz per feeding -- and, so far, tolerating it fairly well. Alex has, on occasion, needed some medicinal assistance to get his, um, system moving, but they're going to try letting him handle his own business and see how it goes for a couple of days.

I'm not sure if we mentioned it before, but the babies are wearing clothes now (since they're no longer on IV's). So Daddy has a new stressor in his life, and that stressor's name is "Baby Outfits." Seriously, it's hard enough changing diapers in the isolettes, but bringing all those little snaps into play... it's not easy. But, on the plus side, they do look pretty darn cute! Hopefully at some point soon we can get some better pictures of them all dressed up, but right now they're almost always bundled in or under blankets, etc.

We finished Mr. Alex's video last night. I hope you enjoy it.
