No room at the inn...

Elzi and Lilly are doing great! We are expecting them to be moved to the Special Care Nursery at Durham Regional any day now. The doctor told us a few days ago that they were ready to be transferred as soon as two beds opened up at DRH. When we visited today the nurse said that there were now two beds open, so they may be moved tomorrow.

Lilly has been put back in an isolette, because she was burning too many calories trying to regulate her temperature, causing her to lose weight. She is now taking every other feed by bottle and weighs 3 pounds 9 ounces.

Elzi is also growing and is taking at least one bottle per day. She now weighs 3 pounds. I think she is happy to be beside her sister.

We have an appointment with the lactation consultant tomorrow to try to get the girls started with breast feeding. Hopefully, things will go well. The sooner we can get them feeding, the sooner they can come home. We can't wait!
