Now that the boys are in their crib they have to maintain normal body temperature in order to go home. One way to keep their temps up is to wear a hat....

Current Update: Brady 4 lbs 14 1/2 oz
Owen 4 lbs 3 oz
Brady is now getting all 8 feedings via bottle. His feeding tube was removed on Sunday so he now only has his monitor leads on anymore. He is fairly close to going home and we are getting excited.
Owen is taking 6 of his 8 feedings by bottle. He is still struggling a little bit with apnea issues so we need to continue to monitor this situation before he can go home.
Both boys have very strong good appetites and are eating like champs! I was able to start breast feeding both boys on Sunday and was pleased with our success. We are hoping that both boys are able to come home together but know that the NICU staff is providing the best care possible for the boys. We know that God is watching over Brady and Owen which provides us comfort.

| My first time to hold both boys! |
Another exciting moment -- Rodney and I were both able to hold both boys at the same time. It did require assistance from a nurse to get them in our arms and put them back to bed. Luckily we have alot more years to perfect the art of holding and balancing both boys!
Thank you for all your thoughts, prayers and kind words. We can't wait for you all to meet them!
