Something that Raechel and I have noticed of late is how quickly time is flying. I've heard parents say something along those lines about their own kids for years, and I can vouch for that fact based on first hand experience.
Since our last update, the boys have made good progress. They have maintained their temperature on their own since moving to isolettes. They've started doing a little bottle feeding, which is really fun to participate in and witness. And as of today, they've each gained 1lb since birth.
They aren't without their challenges as we found out today they'll be supplementing Henry with some vitamins due to his blood being anemic, or low on red blood cells. Nothing too concerning and very common at this point in his development, but they do outline what the scenarios would look like if things get worse, which could extend all the way to a transfusion. Very unlikely at this point that it would reach that point, but it's an example of one of those things floating out there that seems to make your shoulders a little more tense and sleep a little less sound. Looking forward to the day when the boys are home, healthy, growing, and that stress goes away. But again, I've heard from experienced parents that feeling never disappears :)
