Slowly but surely I think they are getting there. Wyatt & Emily have been taking 1 bottle feeding per shift for a week now. They have been having a hard time sucking, swallowing, and breathing so they called in a specialist to work with them 3-5 times a week. I am hopeful. Wyatt weighs 4 pounds!!! He will be moved to a crib in just a few days and is taking in 33 ML's of breast milk every three hours. He still is breathing on the nasal canula, and I think he looks just like Mitchell! Emily weighs 3 pounds 9 ounces and is eating 30 MLs. She is the fiesty one of the two. They attempted to take her off the canula today so we will see how it goes. I got to dress her for the first time yesterday. So they are both maintaining their own temps. She has fair skin and looks like Andrew, I think. Both have moved down to the final level where they will stay till they go home. We have a TV, bed, and restroom facilities in our own room, but are not allowed to stay till a week before they come home. I have attached several pics for this week. Emily is in the pink, Wyatt in the doggie outfit. Also, there is a pic of how much milk I produce in just 1 week(the bags in the back are the equivalent of 3 of those bottles) and a cute pic of Mitch. Thanks to all who have helped keep us going, pray now that their homecoming will be soon. :) We love you all lots!

It was so great to see you while I was in Visalia. Mitchell is soo adorable and definitely ALL boy :)After we left, all Lydia would say was "chell" (mitchell). She really enjoyed playing with him. We are so happy to hear that the twins are doing so well. Thanks for keeping us updated!
