So we guilted one of the nurses into completely shaving Leah's head, seeing her aweful hair in these pictures really bothered me for some reason so our little princess has lost her brown wavy hair and is now sporting the bald look...She looks a little cuter now without the mangled do...
Both are still doing really well...Blake had is air flow removed from his nose, he "desats" a bit which means his oxygen levels dip when he forgots to breath but he always recovers within a few seconds, I've noticed he "Desats" and has "Brady's" (dip in heartrate) right after he eats, and when he is being held. He just gets so comfy and relaxed that he forgots to breath. It sounds really aweful but is totally common with babies of this age..Its still a little unsettling to have these alarm bells ring off loudy when you are holding him. Usually if you just move him a bit and put his head back he startles enough to breath...Other than that, feedings are going up for both and both are now on the Human milk fortifier which is the calorie booster. IV's are both out, which leaves just the feeding tube which will still be in for another 4 or 5 weeks.

This is the new graduated room they are in, I guess its not really a room more like a little cubicle, seperated by curtains. Leah is on the left and Blakes on the right...The monitors above are Heart, oxygen and respiration monitors. You can see the Green 130 on the right one is Blakes Heartrate...The blue 89 is Oxygen, you can see here its a little low they like it as close to 100 % as possible, this # flucuates all day long, they all do so its normal. The pink 51 is how many breaths they are taking...
Finally a picture of the little man with his eyes open, its a rare occurance and even sitting beside him hours on end every day, I've only seen them open a hand full of times.
Baby Blake sunggling with Mommy
Its difficult to picture how big the babies are, Right now they are just over 2 pounds and a few oz, they've lost a bit since they were born. Just to give you an idea of how small the babies are, here is a picture of their diaper beside a dollar bill..(there is no significance of it being American, I didn't have a Canadian one) In some pictures you can see they are wearing diapers that are rolled down, those are a bigger size. These ones are just a perfect fit.
Princess Leah with her new bald hair do!
Always putting on a show...
Big yawn....
Right after her hair cut, there is still a patch of sticky stuff from the IV tape stuck on her head. The white dots are velcro that stick her sunglasses on when she's under the lights. Those should be able to come off now.
