[Beautifulnewmom]

So today my boys are 3 whole weeks old... they are making so much progress all they have left to do is eat! Mason is eating very well he started at 4b1oz lost all the way down to 3lb 12oz and is now 4lbs 12 oz so hes almost 5lbs hes been gaining almost 2oz a day now.. He can have as many bottles as he wants to eat for his 8feedings he usually takes abotu 6 bottles of his 8 hes allowed... he usually eat 3 full bottles and between 20-25ml of his 40ml for the rest... they were both on caffiene but are now both off and doing great andnot having any issues! There only one tube and its there feeding tubes to help finish what they don't drink from a bottle... they said mason should be home very soon if he keeps doing so good..  Now on to my little baby bug Jeremiah he was born 3lbs 13oz went down to 3lb 10oz and is now 4lb 10oz he gaining weight just not eating form a bottle very well... he is doing great othewise he just likes to sleep alot... hes only allowed 2 bottles of his 8 feedings and is eating about 12-14ml of his 40ml which is progress as he was only eating about 3-5ml... Gave them both baths tonight for the first time by me... super exciting Jeremiah hates them and Mason loves them... They are soo opposite... Jeremiah loves sleeping Mason hates sleeping lol... i love my little monkey and my baby bug ... Cant wait for them to come home just a few more weeks at most... hopefully sooner... heres some pics of their progress!
