we're in level 2!!

Kiddos both got moved to Level 2 NICU after only about 24 hours in Level 3.  Woo hoo!  The most common issues to look for in premies this old and weight tend to be: breathing, body temperature self-regulating, eating, jaundice, and something else which is escaping my tired brain.  So far, neither of the kiddos has shown any breathing issues, which is the scary one to me.  When they moved to level 2, they were under heat lamps for only a few hours and are now in open cribs and seem to be self-regulating their body temperatures well.  They are both a little jaundiced and might need to be treated for that, we'll know more today.  They seem to be eating well.  We still need to get their weights up a little and make sure they are eating enough at each feeding for their size and keep it down.  They are on the right track, but could be a little better.  Hopefully, we'll see improvement today, I mean, they're only a day old!  All in all, they seem to be on the right track and there's a chance they'll even come home with us!  We are trying not to get our hopes up too much at this point, but are very encouraged by their progress.

As for me, I'm still struggling with the carpal tunnels, getting enough sleep, and recovering from the surgery.  Also attempting to learn to breast feed and everything else to take care of two premies!  But, definitely in love with our children.  Love, love, love.
