10 Weeks Old

my new favorite picture of my precious twins - Cade is so much bigger than Camdyn.

Look how much Camdyn has grown. Compare the picture above with the pictures below. She is still only 3 lbs 6 oz., but the 2 lbs. 4 oz. she has gained makes a world of difference.

The babies are now 10 weeks old! They have both gained weight. Camdyn now weighs 3 lb. 6 oz., and Cade now weighs 4 lbs. 10 oz. They are starting to look so much bigger now. Earlier in the week they were weaned from 4 liters of pressure on their nasal cannulas to 3.5 and then 3 liters. Today, Cade was even lowered to 2.5 liters, and I think Camdyn will do the same soon. When they get to 2 liters, they can start learning to take a bottle. We are so excited!

Camdyn's head scan is tomorrow morning. We should get results by tomorrow night. We are praying that there is less white matter. We've been told that both babies will get MRIs just before they are ready to go home, and that will tell us the most. They do both get eye exams later this week, too. So, we ask everyone to continue praying for them as they go through these tests.

God, we are so thankful for their growth and how well they are doing on their nasal cannulas. We are thankful that they have been able to wean the liters on the cannulas so well. We are also thankful that they have been tolerating their increased feeds. We pray for good results from Camdyn's head scan and for their eye exams. In your name we pray, Amen.
