The girls had another great day. Emily said they were hitting and messing with each other in their beds today, so she had separate them. They're definitely their father's daughters! Emerson is 3 lb 13 oz and Stella is 3 lb 11 oz. Thank you all so much for your continued support. We could not get through this trying time in our lives without the thoughts and prayers of family and friends. There will be more pics tomorrow.

They both had their second eye exams. The eye exams came out great. They are both a little uncomfortable after the exams but they're doing good. Emerson is 3 lb 11 oz and Stella is 3 lb 10 oz. Stella was put back on the nasal cannula just for the eye exam. They're making a lot of progress...hopefully they'll be home soon!!!

The girls are doing great. Emerson is 3 lbs 9 oz and 15 1/2 inches long and Stella is 3 lbs 8 oz and 15 1/2 inches long too. They are now able to take 4 feedings from a bottle and/or nursing. They are growing so fast. We're really starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel! Sorry, I forgot the camera at home, so more pics tomorrow.

Like I said last night...they're growing like weeds! Emerson is 3 lbs 8 oz and Stella is 3 lbs 6 oz. Stella is totally off oxygen and her oxygen saturation monitor was taken off. Emerson is being weaned off of her oxygen as well. They both took a full meal from a bottle and are starting to get the hang of nursing!

Another good day for our little girls. We were able to dress them for the first time today! They loved putting on a show for everyone in the NICU. Melinda, thank you for the beautiful hats and booties! Also, thank you Ruth for the clothes the girls wore! Here are our little girls.

Stella smiling for the camera!
