How do you like your baby?

Maybe a little less toasty. Mary Jane spent the later part of the day fearing that she was being “that” mom. Parker’s heart was beating really fast and she just seemed to be really hot. The nurse during the day obliged Mary Jane and took her temperature only to find her core temp was fine. Later, after I had come back again from church, when we were taking Parker out so I could hold her, I noticed it too. She was my sneaky little red monkey. Turns out the Giraffe was too warm, and she was getting a little too toasty.
Thankfully that is pretty much the level of excitement for the day. The girls have had a couple of nice boring days. We’re praying for more of them. Currently they are both going down on the O2 they need and tolerating their feeds. In fact they have both worked their way up to their current max on their feeds and both of them are having their feeds fortified with extra calories. You may have noticed in some of the recent pictures they are starting to look bigger. They are both about 2 lbs 5 ounces. Compared to where they started that’s positively huge. The goal is for them to each gain an ounce a day, which they have been good at up until the last couple of nights. Overall they have slowed down a bit. We’ve been reassured that this is not a big deal. It’s something they will keep an eye on, but they aren’t worried now because the girls are taking the food, processing it, and getting rid of it in the…proper way…on their own. Our guess with the Parker part of the equation is that she is just that active.
Over all, another good day.
