Visitation

Landon and Grant will no longer be able to receive any vistors except for Bri and I througout their stay in the NICU. The hospital changed their policy starting this morning that only parents are allowed in the NICU. This is to hopefully prevent the babies from getting sick and of course the big scare of the seasonal flu and H1N1. We knew this might be coming and is actually already the policy in the hospital I delivered in. They were lucky enough to get to see both sets of grandparents and even great grandma though. We'll definitely have to keep up with the pictures now:)
I was able to do kangaroo care with both Grant and Landon yesterday! Both boys are up to 1.5ml of breast milk every two hours and they have both gained weight since Sunday. Landon is ONE gram short of 2lbs and Grant is about 1lb13oz so both past their original birth weight, yeah! If Grant would stop wiggling all the time he might be able to put on some more!
This morning both boys had to go back under the bilirubin lights which again is very common for them to be under for a few days, out for a few days. This just helps with jaundice and keeping the chemicals out of their tiny little bodies. Personally I think they enjoy wearing the sunglasses and lounging out. Maybe they'll be beach go-ers like their parents!
Can't wait for dad to come tomorrow! We'll definitely take more pics this weekend.
Thanks for all the well wishes and prayers!
