The twins are 3 weeks old today! They are at 35 weeks gestational age and maturing every day. We have been snowed in for two days at the house in Elkton and I am really looking forward to going to see the girls tomorrow. I miss them alot!
On Tuesday through the night the girls had a couple of set backs. Before the morning both girls were back in isoletts. Neither of them could control their temp enough to be in the cribs any longer. We are hoping this is just a short term thing and that they will be back in the cribs by the weekend.
Bottling was a struggle on Tuesday night and Wednesday also. We believe that the girls temp and respose to bottling are connected. We were hoping that if the girls are not stressed about maintaining thie body temp they will do better at bottling. This must have been the case. After a day in the isoletts the girls are scoring at the top for their feeding scores getting a 5 out of 5 possible points. Brienna is currently on step 6 of bottling and Brooklyn is on step 4. Their are 9 total steps. Hopefully Brooklyn will move up to step 5 tomorrow to start to catch up to her sister!
As of last night Brooklyn weighed in at 4 pounds 13.5 ounces and Brienna is at 4 pounds 7 ounces.
I hope that everyone is well and warm! Have a good evening!
