Ok people things are doing very well!!! Both of the boys are off the over head billi lights and only Nathaniel is on the billi blanket only because they have been trying to get a centralized IV line in and they have not been successful so his billi count went up a little. Aiden is feeding every 2 hours and is getting 4cc's/ Nathaniel is getting 5cc's every 2 hours. Aiden is on the bubble cpap still, but they plan on trying him on the "old man's" oxygen in the next few days. Nathaniel is already on the "old man's" oxygen and is responding very well!

We got to hold Nathaniel today! He got to take off his sunglasses and hang out with mom and dad for a little bit. That is one of the most amazing feelings is holding your baby in your arms. Well it was more like we were swallowing the poor little guy since he is so tiny. He actually cried a little bit when we were moving him and he also looked up at me and kyle a couple of times. I got to pick him up out of his incubator and put him on my chest, and sit down with him for about 15 min, and then Kyle took him off of my chest and he went on to his and then he held him for about 15 min. After our time was up, Kyle was able to put him back into his incubator, and then I got to change his diaper for the first time! I never thought I would be so excited to change a diaper! Then I was able to turn him over on his belly so he could go back to sleep. Such an eventful day. There was a new little baby that was being admitted into the NICU so after we finished with Nate we were not able to go over and see Aiden due to privacy laws since they were talking about the other baby.
