Casen weighs 4 pounds today! He did awesome with his morning feeding - I had to stop him after 15 minutes of breastfeeding so he didn't wear himself out too much. He is also making progess with bottle feeds & took a full 16cc bottle this morning. We're so proud of him - he's doing great! Dr. Chen doesn't want to push him too fast, so he is keeping him in the incubator for now. Tomorrow he will let me increase breast & bottle feeds from just twice a day. Dr. Chen estimates that Casen will be able to go home in 3-5 more days depending on his progress. I think Casen is going to surprise him with how much he can do... he's a tough little guy!
Collins had a great night last night. She's very content once her tummy is full & barely made a noise. The twins both eat every 3 hours. Since we've had Collins, I've been staying at the house with her while Bryan takes the nighttime feedings with Casen. Then Bryan will try to catch a little sleep (or a little playoff football with his awesome daughter:) while I take the majority of daytime feedings.
Michelle's parents have come up the last 2 nights to watch Collins so we can go see Casen together. "Wompa" loves holding her - we'll just have to make sure she doesn't get too spoiled! Michelle's mom also came up to visit this afternoon.
