Look Mom, No CPAP!

To our amazement we walked into the NICU yesterday afternoon to see both girls free of their CPAPs! We were so happy to see their little faces and they looked so much more comfortable. Madelyn is on a regular flow nasal cannula that provides very little oxygen as support. We will find out today but her nurses didn't feel she even needed that as she kept pulling it out of her nose and was doing great without it. Georgia is on a high flow nasal cannula and was doing great on that as well.

Georgia got to get all dressed up in a cute little pink hat and pink shirt as her billy levels have gone down and she doesn't need her lights anymore. She looked so snuggly and comfortable. Hopefully Madelyn's billy levels will cooperate and she can play dress-up soon too.

Some other great news... we found out last night that we can hold the girls now. Craig and I are going to be trying what is called "skin to skin therapy" with them this evening. The girls will get to snuggle up on our chests and sleep while gaining heat from our bodies and getting to know us, we are both very excited about this.

One of our favorite nurses, Megan helped us out with a little mini photo shoot last night.
