Today is 27 weeks gestational age for the twins. What an amazing thing. Of course, we wish they'd decided to hang out in mommy's tummy a bit longer but they are moving right along and we are so thankful they are here.
Monday, Isaak managed not to need any "neo-puff" oxygen to get his sats back up after his apnea episodes - he recovered all on his own. He was rambunctious enough to pee everywhere when they were bathing him. I guess he wanted a change of bedding too ;)
On Monday, both babies appear to have gotten back to birth weight. The goal was to have that occur in the first 2 to 2 1/2 weeks so they are a little ahead of schedule. They are currently receiving 4ml of milk every 3 hours with minimal residuals.
On Monday, Bekka got to hold her little baby boy for the first time.
Monday was a better day.

YEY!!!! Mommy got to hold her precious little baby boy! I'm so thankful that Monday was a better day. We'll just keep praying both twins have more and more good days. By the way, it sounds like Isaak is taking after his Daddy. The only thing missing was Mamaw Alma! Love to each of you, Mom
