Twins 4/5/09

Kali and I had a great day today. Mommy and daddy came up to the hospital and daddy got to hold Kali. She told me that she loved being in her daddy's arms. She loves when he is able to hold her. Daddy also got to change her diaper. As soon as he took the diaper off her to change her, she surprised him with a big poop. She told me that she was going to do that next time he changed her and she did. She held up her word. Well today, mommy got to feed me with a bottle for the first time. I think we both did a good job. The nurse told mommy that for our first feed, normally a nurse is suppose to feed us in case we quite breathing or something happens but the nurse today decided to let mommy do it. She told mommy that I probably wouldn't do very good because they normally don't start bottle feeding until closer to 35 weeks so I had to show the nurse up. I did a really good job and impressed everyone up there. Mommy would have to put the bottle up to my mouth and help me get it started then I would suck for a little while, then I would get tired, mommy would have to stimulate me a little to wake me up, then I would eat some more. We did this for a while. Overall, I did a great job! I am eating a total of 30cc and I took 5cc from the bottle and then the rest they had to feed me through my feeding tube. The nurse said with all the work I did eating from the bottle, it was like being in the Olympics for you. It took a lot of work out of me. Well Kali weighs 3lbs 1oz and I weigh 3lbs 7oz. I am eating 30cc with one bottle feed a day now and Kali is eating 24cc. Well, I am still tired from earlier today eating so I need to get some more rest. Talk to you soon.

Love Keaton
