Happy 3 Week Birthday Girls!

Snuggling with Mom

Emma


Madelyn



The girls are now 32 weeks, which is their 3 week birthday! No changes at rounds today except that they will continue to TRY to ween the girls down on their O2. We are starting to really see differences between the girls. Emma definitely has a fuller head of hair and it's also darker. Madelyn has a birth mark on her shoulder and thigh. Emma always has her mouth open. Madelyn loves to be swaddled and LOVES her pacifier. She loves to look at us while she eats. Emma loves to make cute little noises and pull out her canula. They are both more and more alert every day. It's amazing when you think about the fact that they should still be in my belly for another 4 weeks!

This post is a little late, but we want to pass on congratulations and good luck to Emma and Madelyn's new friend, Gianna, that they met in the NICU. Gianna and her family are originally from Erie and were life-flighted to Magee. Gianna is now doing so well that they were able to head back to the NICU in Erie. They are a wonderful family and we wish them nothing but happiness! Hopefully Gianna will only have a few more weeks before she can be at home with Mom and Dad.
