slight setback...

As one of the nurses told us today, Sylvia and Rafael decided to start acting like premies.  They have decided they don't really like hospital food, either, and aren't eating well consistently.  So, they have feeding tubes and are taking every other feeding through the feeding tubes to give them a break from working so hard with the bottles.  It's a combo problem of not wanting to eat out of the bottles and not digesting the food in their tummies (which is probably why they don't want to eat out of the bottles).  So, while we are leaving either tomorrow or Saturday, the kiddos will likely stay a few more days, depending on how they do with their eating.  While we're a little bummed that they are having a slight setback, it's not entirely unexpected, so I think we're taking it well. 

p.s.  Just got back from Sylvia's late night feeding and she ate like a champ!  Woo hoo!  Her bro is still spitting up quite a bit of his food.  He probably feels guilty from stealing all her food in the womb and is now letting her catch up.  Her weight is now 4 lb. 8 oz. and his weight is 5 lb. 5 oz.  Some weight loss is expected, and they're still within the okay range.
