We aren’t getting much sleep at all, but we’re doing our best to remember that this won’t last forever. *Experienced twin parents- send me all the tips for helpingContinue reading “3/5/25”

They are keeping up with their feeding requirements by bottle, but it takes them a long time to get through theirContinue reading “1/21/25”

Little girls are doing great today! They’re both off of their IV fluids and feeding tubes and are taking a bottle like champs. Both are testing well also, so blue light might be going away today as well. Just continuing to develop their stamina so they can take a full feeding session with mom andContinue reading “Michael’s Update 1/18”
