The babies are seven weeks old today and both are now officially at least 2.5 pounds. The nurses are remarking on how "big" they are getting. They are on 13cc's of food every two hours. Daniel and Sofia are now getting the same mixture of breast milk, Neosure powder and human milk fortifier. Sofia is an ounce larger than Daniel, but about an inch shorter.
Sofia and Daniel also both have dry skin thanks to Mommy's genes. Daddy put Eucerin cream on them both today.
The doctors are continuing to wean the ventilator settings for both babies as they tolerate it. We are glad to see that Sofia seems to have recovered from the possible infection and fluid retention that gave her trouble last week.

The babies are so beautiful and I'm glad to read they are doing well. I think of you all so often and am always so grateful for these updates. Thank you!
I hope you guys are doing well, too. I can only imagine what the past seven weeks have been like.
Lots of love,
Cousin Anne
