Oral feedings, no more incubators, and more

Tegan got moved into a big girl bed on Thursday.  Brielle wasn't gaining enough weight to be moved into a crib so she was in a convertible incubator till today.  She got the green light to be moved to a big girl bed this morning. Rianne and Teagan have done well maintaining their temperature and gaining weight without the external heat source.

Brielle, Teagan, and Rianne have all taken a full feeding by mouth!  They still forget to swallow once in a while and have to help them not choke.

I had my first experience of two babies crying at once and I wasn't sure what to do.  It is nice to be able to hold them now if they get fussy, but with all the wires it's impossible to hold more than one at a time without help.  We have learned that it Teagan gets fussy holding her upright on our chest calms her down.

Teagan's first day in her crib.

Teagan was pretty happy about the move.



Teagan passed out on daddy's chest.
Rianne with her hand by her head just like always.


Brielle's head is a bit too small for the hats.

She's actually doing great, it just looks bad with the tubes...


Teagan weighs 3 pounds13.5 ounces.
Brielle weighs 3 pounds 10 ounces.
Rianne weighs 4 pounds 4.4 ounces.
