10 Weeks!

Last week was a busy week. I went back to work so that I can have time at home once Claire is released.  It wasn't easy going back, but I know it will be worth it in the long run.  However, the biggest and most exciting news is that Claire is now off of all respiratory support and is doing very well!  It's so great to be able to see more of her face.  She is working really hard so bottle feeding isn't coming easy for her.  She needs more time to gain strength so she can get suck, swallow, and breathe down .  Last night she weighed 6 pounds 10 ounces!  And she passed her hearing test.  So good news all around for Claire! 

Claire really doesn't like the camera

But she will eventually open her eyes!

Caroline is doing well at home.  She loves to be held and LOVES to eat.  She is steadily gaining weight as well.  At her appointment last Friday she weighed 6 pounds 9 ounces.  Today she had her first "manicure" because she keeps scratching herself.  Notice both girls have their hands covered this week!
