Well another good day at the nursery. Both boys gained a lot of weight today - Gabe is up to 3 lbs, 8.1 ozs and Elias is up to 3 lbs, 15.7 ounces (that's only 0.3 ounces from the big 4 lbs!). Today was Elias's first full day with no feeding tube and he did great - he was able to take every feeding with a bottle or breastfeeding with no problems. Gabe has been a little slower with the feeding so after two days of rest and less bottle feeding, he seems to be much more awake and interested in feeding. I think that was his way of saying that the feeding schedule was a little too much for him. Both are moving a little bit more (babysteps?) towards going home everyday. We're trying not to get our hopes but it's really hard not to.

Also they've already learned to share - today they shared an eye infection. After a little ointment, they both seem to be clearing up. That's it for now, we're going to go home for the first time this week and check on our other babies, Sassy and Ruby. Its so hard having your family all spread out across the city!
