Day 63 – Reunited and it Feels So Good!

Day 63 – Tuesday, September 19, 2017

AGE: 8 weeks old (33 weeks, 6 day gestation)

Lochlan: Weight is 4 lb 4.3 oz. (Birth weight: 1 lb 10.8 oz.)
                Length 16.5 in. (Birth Length 13 in.)
Lex:        Weight is 4 lb 4.3 oz. (Birth weight: 1 lb 10.8 oz.)
                Length is 16.5 in. (Birth length: 13 in.)

There is only one shared room (the twin room) in the NICU and it opened up. We have been asking to get moved into it since day one. We were so excited that the twins were able to be relocated to their shared room. This is the first time they have been in the same room since being wombmates. This is exciting because they can be close to each other, hear each other and, most of all, they can be held at the same time.

Today, both boys’ weight and length are exactly the same. Lochlan moved to CPAP today which is a huge milestone. Lex had his NIV rates lowered too which is one more step closer to CPAP. They are on track to move to cribs in the next couple days. There is so much excitement and transition today. We are making real progress in the fight to get home!
