Withdrawing their caffeine

 Caffeine, really?

The girls daily dose of caffeine is being stopped today.

Need I say more?

They were given caffeine to help stimulate their brains to remind them to breathe, although one of the side effects is a little less weight gain.  Hopefully the girls tolerate the change and we can continue to move forward.  If Rianne and Brielle don't have an increase in their spells, they will be changed from the vapotherm to the blended nasal cannula at the end of the week which will be awesome. It will clear the room a little more for what will hopefully be some cribs soon!

Yeah!

On Sunday we got to help give Brielle and Rianne baths.  Brielle was a fan and laid quietly and sucked on her pacifier.  Rianne wouldn't lay still so I'm not sure how clean she actually got.

Brielle weighs 3 pounds 1 ounce and is 14.6 inches long.

I've been really congested so this tube takes the boogies from my nose...

You wanna hope they don't poop in the bath...but precautions are necessary...

So I missed my mouth with my Binkie...

Teagan weighs 3 pounds 4 ounces and is 14.6 inches long.

(Teagan) Guess who changed me?

Dad, seriously, get this thing off my head (Teague, I can't...the nurse has to remove your oxygen lines first...)

(Teagan) That bottle looks delicious!

Rianne weighs 3 pounds 6 ounces and is 15.2 inches long.

(Ri) One day my head will be bigger than my pacifier!

(Ri) This Binkie is amazing!

Rianne rips out her canula and G-tube...

...lift my arms out wide, I open my eyes...and now all I want to see is a a sky full of lighters...a sky full of lighters...

They are still so tiny!

Our little monkey Ri isticking her tongue out

Watch, I can keep my right eye looking forward and freak you out by turning my left eye here!

No I got her...just let me move the green tube here, the clear tube there, get her through the red wire...
