OT: Two New Nieces

congratulations on the 2 new little babies. They are so tiny. I hope they continue to do well and gain weight quickly.. let us know how they are doing.

I thought she'd left the country for goodness sakes and moved to France.. lol

:::Sending good thoughts:::

Alicia

Heehee...I think her DH thinks he's left the country!!! We're soooo far behind in technology! She's in Arkansas, but using French words to name the city she's living in makes it sound exoctic! LOL Hey M-C 87 days! (still think we should go! not)

Well if "Arbuste" is still president... and goes to the opening in Petite Pierre... maybe, oui?

Well dumb me LOL, I thought it really was the name of her town! I do not know Arkansas or French so I had no idea it was Little Rock in French! I guess petite makes sense as little but the rest- no comprendo! (Blushing profusely here LOL)

Both of the girls are back close to their birth weight after the usual loss of a few ounces, told my mom to tell them they didn't have much to lose so don't shed to many. :-) Both are on less oxygen in their incubators and are breathing better on their own. Amber has recovered from a mild bout of jaundice, and Katie still has a case of it. They have Katie under the lamp. I'll keep you updated as I get new information. Thank you again for all you prayers, good thoughts and experiences as they help me have information to pass along to my DB & DSIL.

Thank you Michelle. They have gained back to their birth weight so we're doing really good now.

Thank you Alicia. Your signature gives more proof they can do really great.

Glad to hear they are making such good progress.

I'm glad to here they are breathing better on their own. I feel for your SIL, I really do. Going to see your baby everyday like that is a heart wrenching experience. I remember every detail of it. It's really hard to think of anything but your babies but tell her to try to get as much rest as possible, after all she just had surgery and she will need all of her energy when those to babies get home. Sara was home in 6 weeks.

That's so good to hear. I'm sure they will be just fine. I had a nephew who was born 10 weeks early and he weighted 1 pound 10 ounces. He just turned 4. He's a little spit fire. He's very healthy. He had to stay in the hospital over a month and when he came home he was on the heart monitor, but today you wouldn't know the difference. He's just a little smaller than most kids. I'll be thinking of your nieces.

What good news! I hope they get over the jaundice quickly.

Thank you Lynne.

Thank you Dizzy. The doctor made her go home, so she can recover and the hospital is over 90 miles from home, so until she is recovered, they only get to go see them 2 or 3 times a week. She calls everyday to check on them though. She also has a 14 month old at home too.

hank you Azzy. She already has the grandmothers lined up to take turns helping till they are on a real schedule without the multiple feedings. If she lived closer, I'd volunteer to do a few nights as well. She's not allowed to pick up my other niece till the doctor tells her she can. Mom's going out tomorrow to sit with Angel, so my DB and DSIL can go see the twins.

Thank you , they are little fighters so far, but small.

Thank you Tammy. Amber is a little jaundiced again so she is back under the light.

Wow - so little! Prayers and thoughts with them (and you on getting those albums going!)
