(Top photo is Kiernan. Bottom photo is Graydan. )Today my boys are 3 weeks old. I'm so proud to have them in my life, despite the stress of having them early. They are already showing so much personality! They have grown more than a pound each and are tolerating all their feedings very well.
Yesterday Kiernan came off the cannulas completely and now only needs the nasal cannula every now and then. This might not be a permanent thing yet, but he's getting there!
Graydan is quickly working his way to having his PIC line removed, as he has been doing very well with his sugar digestion and the TPN (the bag of yellow fluid that is supplemental to their actual feedings).
Gray is a tad behind still on the cannulas, but gaining ground. Kiernan is likewise a tiny bit behind his brother in getting off the PIC line. But both are doing great and doing everything in their own time.
As they come off more machines, they show more personality. Gray hates to face away from people, and will turn his head and cry when people are talking and he can't see them. He was always moving around and kicking when he could hear music or something. Kier is much quieter, but longer. His arms are so long he can tap on the plastic of the incubator. It is a very strange sound, like a "poink poink poink" sound. He likes to do it when the second shift nurses are trying to work on Gray.
They are both so cute and getting so big! Happy 3 weeks babies!
