Mommy spent the entire day at the NICU today with Gerald and Isabella while Daddy had to go to work.
The Doctors and Nurses said that it was okay to start putting the babies to breast to see what they would do, so the lactation consultant came to help Mommy, who was very nervous! The nurse had Mommy pump her milk just before our trial so that the babies would not get any milk since this was supposed to be a "non-nutritional feeding". However, when the consultant arrived, both babies were showing signs that they were ready to actually breast feed, so she said that Mommy does not have to pump in advance next time. Even though Mommy pumped today, both babies worked very hard and still got milk out when Mommy thought she was empty! Hopefully tomorrow while Mommy is full, they will get and take much more!
Trey took 10 cc's of breast milk directly from Mommy today! It was his first time and he did great!
Bella took 2 cc's of breast milk directly from Mommy today! It was her first time and we woke up to to try this, so she did great too!
Trey was weighed tonight and he is now 3 pounds 10.4 ounces!
Bella was also weighed tonight and she is now 3 pounds 2.1 ounces!
