New Room

Owen and Maren have moved into the twins room in the NICU.  It is so nice to have them in the same space and out of isolettes.  They are both maintaining their body temperatures in cribs and are really starting to gain weight.  Every day, Josh and I are able to jump in and help with more of their care.  Last night, we were able to bathe both babies.  Maren slept right through it, but Owen woke up to let us know that baths are not his thing.  I am working on nursing with both babies, and we plan to begin introducing bottles as well.  Catching onto bottle feeding is a lot easier for babies than nursing and will help them make it home faster, so we are really excited about this next step.

Our new room. 

The other night Maren was making some really grumpy sounds, and we found the source of her frustration.  Our little girl likes to be able to see what's going on around her!

  3. They are so adorable. We're glad to hear everyone is doing well and the babies are gaining weight.
    So the Medfusion pumps (on the table in front and the table in back) are one of the products I work on. It is nice to see it is helping them.
