Ja.son is catching up to Sh.awn on his feedings. Ja.son is getting 27ml of milk every three hours, while Sh.awn gets 30ml. Ja.son has started to plump up lately, too. Now he is 4 pounds 6 ounces! Sh.awn is not gaining as fast as Ja.son, so the doctors have changed his formula and added 2 extra calories per ounce to his feedings. It doesn't seem like that would do much, but the nurses have assured us that it will. Sh.awn now weighs 3 pounds 13 ounces.
Sh.awn with his new tube! You can see his chin now!
Ja.son - getting bigger!

Wow. Look at how they're thriving. I'm so happy for all of you.
They are so adorable!!! They also seem to be doing very well. You sound very encouraged, and I am so happy for that. I am guessing no more apnea and some of your other concerns? How exciting that there is beginning to be talk of DISCHARGE!! My daughter was 3lb 13 oz at birth. It took her two weeks to reach 4lb 8oz which was the discharge weight at the time. She is an avid reader of your blog, and thinks your boys are very cute as well. Happy Thanksgiving!!
These guys seriously look like they're eating tons of turkey :D They are so beautiful!
stacie- yeahy, they are almost home. I am so proud of you, how youve made it this far. The boys have def filled out. My daughters still have the feeding tubes in, and they say btwn 32-34 weeks they will try feeding them and see how that goes. Our journeys are on the same track. Soon they will all be home!
All those little milestones keep you sane.
One day, the feeding tube will come out all together!
