Level II...one step closer...

The boys have been doing really well for the last few days.  They were moved to the NICU annex.  This area only has 4 other babies.  It is much more calm and quiet.  The boy seem to be able to rest better there without all the ringing and dinging from the all the monitors that are constantly.

Today Parker weighs 3lbs 12oz which is us 25grams; Jesse is 4lbs 2.5oz which is actually down just a bit.  They are now classified as Level II NICU patients which means that they are stable and they are closer to coming home.  This next week the plan is to start nursing them to get them started with the process of getting off of the feeding tubes.  They are still also in incubators to help keep them warm since they still have some fattening up to do.

We were also able to hold them close together. And both Grandma's were able to hold both of them.




This picture of Parker was just to cute not to add to the post today.

I will try and update later this week after we get started with their feedings.  Thanks so much for your thoughts and prayers.  With any luck they will be home in the next few weeks.
