Kilo Kangaroo

Audrey hit 1 kilo at her last weigh in, and I was able to hold her skin to skin (aka kangaroo care) today. What a milestone! She did wonderfully out of her isolette (oxygen saturation between 98 and 100 most of the time), so hopefully we will be able to hold her from here on out. Her little movements on me seemed familiar-- just not inside of me anymore :)

Charlotte's nurse thought she should get closer to a kilo in weight before we hold her; she's at 830 grams but is at her max feed amount of 17cc, so she should gain regularly each day. Her oxygen needs remain low, so size seems to be the only limiting factor right now.

Thomas, on the other hand, was requiring too much oxygen for his nurse to feel comfortable with us holding him; his PDA is the largest of the three, and it seems to be affecting him a fair amount. That said, he's plenty big at a chubby 1250 grams (and he's only at 15cc per feed at this stage too).

We're praying that those PDAs close and that we're able to hold all of them soon!
