Yesterday, the NICU took all of the IVs, tubes, and electrodes off of Gage. He is functioning very well without them. Britney and J. P. were able to feed him a bottle. He took 40 ml which is great for him. One of the nurses will feed him 50 ml. Needless to say, he's about to take off.
His preemie clothes don't fit. So, they took him NB and dressed him along with a little cap. Brit said he looked so handsome. He is also out of his NB diapers and into a size 1. That's another milestone.
Lila looks fabulous in her preemie clothes and her NB Swaddlers. She may be the "little" sister yet. Who knows?
Brit and J. P. said that Gage has a test today. He will have to pass his car seat test. That means that he'll have to sit successfully for an hour and fifteen minutes in HIS car seat. Once he passes his test (and I know he will), then maybe he'll be coming home very soon.
Daphne, Brit and J. P.'s poodle and my Granddog, got to come home last night. Pops (Kenneth) brought her. Lila was in her little Pack & Play asleep when Daphne got there. Lila kind of squirmed and let out a little grunt. Daphne whipped her head around and looked in her direction. She tiptoed over to that area to see what she'd heard. Daphne would turn her head first left and then right and look at the play pen to try to figure out what that noise was.
Finally, Kenneth picked her up and finally got her to see that little baby in the play yard. Her nose was going crazy trying to take in all those baby smells.
When Brit and J. P. got home from seeing Gage, J. P. held Lila down to Daphne and she inspected her. I think she's going to make a fine big sister for the twins.
