We've been told this whole time that one day your kids just get it. They turn a corner and just keep going. Our girls finally got it! Emma is now down to about 28% o2 and has been as low as 24%. Mady is down to 21-22% and was even off her canula for a little today. Mady's feeding tube was removed and she's now on ad-lib feedings which means they'll give her about 50ccs and she can take what she wants. She's been finishing the whole thing in record time! Emma is now up to having a bottle every feeding as well and may have her feeding tube removed soon!
We asked the doctor the question tonight that really can't be answered... when can they come home? They would like them to be off of their canulas (and so would we) and they need to without and B's (drops in heartrate) for 7 days. Mady was the last one to have one on the 11th. That puts us at as early as the 18th! GULP! However, we think it will be a little longer and I'm finally gaining a little patience. The doctors will give us a 3-4 day heads-up when the time comes. At that time they will need to pass the car seat test! We're amazed at how much has changed in the last week. Seeing them a little closer to each other in an open room really makes it hit home that we have beautiful TWINS! :)

Loree-
You are doing an awesome job with the pumping. Just remember that any drop of BM helps and dont push yourself too far. You have to take care of yourself.
Your girls might be home sooner than you think. We thought we were taking Fiona home first but on the day before her discharge, they told us Ashlyn was going home as well!
