December Firsts

Today we had a few firsts with the boys. Changed Aaron's first poopy diaper. He was a mess. Jen had to use baby magic to get the poo off his little parts. Aaron was not happy!!! Gave both Elliott and Aaron bottles for the first time (it was also a first for them). Elliott moved over to intermediate care, where Aaron is, so it's easier to see both boys at once and that means that Elliott is doing well. Andrew held Aaron for the first time today.

Elliott continues to eat well and is digesting his food well. He no longer has a "pulse" ox monitor and also continues to breathe well without any aids. The nurses reported that he has settled down a little....hasn't been throwing his famous Elliott fits =) He is now on regular feedings instead of priming.

Aaron had several feedings held yesterday and early this morning because so much was coming back in his asperate (this may not be spelled correctly). By early morning Aaron was receiving primings again and when the doctor checked in on him he started him on regular feedings. He has not been pooping so he was given a suppository . As mentioned above...it worked!!! Hopefully he will be able to poo on his own soon.

Both boys are looking better everyday. They still have a lot of growing and learning to do but they are strong and smart. We love them soooooo much!!!
