The boys are making great strides in their journey toward home. Alex and Grant are both in "cribs" now. They are also taking food from a bottle trying to learn how to bottle feed. Grant takes about 25ml once a shift right now.
Alex is having a bit more of a hard time. They are thinking his reflux is coming back and he really doesn't like the bottle if he is refluxing. Hopefully he will grow out of it, but we'll just have to see.
Ethan is doing good right now too. He has gained so much weight these past couple of weeks. He is now 3lbs 14oz. Almost 4 lbs!!! They just started him back on breastmilk this past weekend and so far he is tolerating it pretty well. He we just upped today to 3ml every 3 hours. Hopefully he does well and can get out of the level 3 NICU and move up with his brothers to the Graduate NICU!
Grant is weighing 5lbs 6oz now. Alex is weighing 4lbs 9oz now.
Here is a video of Ethan and Mommy "playing" the other day. I'll have a video of Grant and one of Alex here pretty soon. My camera batteries died and I haven't charged them yet. (doing so now, but it takes a while.)

Oh, I LOVE it! The video is just precious. And Ethan is lagging behind at all ... he's already learned "SO BIG". :) They are just so darn precious! So if a person got in their car and drove to Denver, would they get to see the two in the graduate NICU if their name was Aunt Mimi? Just wondering!! :)
LOVE TO ALL OF YOU!!!
Aunt Mimi
Hey Jess! Wanted to say hi and your boys are soooo adorable. I'm so thankful they are growing and doing well. Hope mom and dad are okay as well. Any word on when they can go home?
