The boys are doing extremely well, but are still in the hospital. They are taking several bottles a day, but still need to be tube fed at times because they get exhausted and can't quite finish their bottles. The good news is that they have both latched on to the breast. It was amazing, and brought tears to my eyes. The doctor now wants me to put them to the breast twice a day. He is gradually increasing the amount of their feedings, and they are gaining weight nicely. Myles is now a tiny sumo wrestler at a whopping 4 lbs 11 ounces and 19 inches long. Madden is a tiny bit behind at 4 lbs 4 ounces and 18 inches long. They are changing every day, and it's harder and harder on mom and dad to leave them at the hospital. I had a little break down yesterday, but I guess that's to be expected. It's just agonizing not having them with us.
