Quinn and Leyla have been doing excellent except for the feeding through the bottle thing. They seem to be stubborn or lazy and just have little desire to get this down. If they are somewhat alert, they will take 20-25cc from the bottle, but they are both at about 45cc. This means they usually have 20-25 that gets put in the tube afterwards. They are only trying a nipple feeding every third feeding b/c of this. Hopefully, they get the hang of this and just start sucking it down like crazy. Once this happens, they should be home within a few days.
They are both gaining weight, as Quinn now weighs 5lbs. and Leyla weighs about 4lbs. 12ozs. Leyla has not had any apnea spells since Friday, so we are hoping and praying those are over now. They are both becoming much more alert, so it is really cute to watch their eyes move all over the place.
