Tonight I got to hold Kiernan. Mathew had gotten some glue on his hands at work that refused to come off, so he just talked to him and took some photos. Kiernan loved being held and spent most of the time sucking his thumb and looking around.
The nurses told us that Kiernan was up to almost 2.5lbs, and that Graydan had started gaining weight as well and was now 2.49. Both boys lost a bit of weight and are now making headway towards gaining! They both spent some time under the UV lights again today, as their bilirubin counts were higher again this morning.
Both boys are stable and making good progress. Tomorrow I will be able to talk to them about the Kangaroo Care program and find out more information on what that is. I will post a description of what that program is once I find out myself.
Hopefully the Kangaroo care means you will be able to wear them and be skin to skin, for preemies this will greatly help their development, it is amazing how being close to mommy and hearing her heartbeat will do such wonderful things.
