Holding Audrey

We were able to hold Audrey today! Our timing was somewhat limited, so we held her all swaddled up instead of skin to skin, but it was still awesome. She did so well outside of her isolette, maintaining her temperature and vital statistics, and she should only do better with that when she's skin to skin. Apparently, they get so cozy when skin to skin that they fall right asleep, so it's best to keep them there for an hour to let them get thru a full sleep cycle. That's our plan going forward. We're planning to hold them (and have family and friends hold them) as much as possible. 

They are all progressing on their feeds and will soon reach the total amounts that they should be eating based upon their weights (which will of course change regularly as they continue to grow). Actually, Charlotte is already at her maximum feed amount (15cc per feed) because she's so tiny. Thomas almost looks chubby compared to her! But they are all growing at their own, just right pace. We look forward to cuddling all of them in the coming days and weeks.
