The third weekend in the NICU

It's hard to believe that Colton and Sulley are already 3 weeks old! The weekend was fairly quiet, but the chilluns were lucky enough to have visits from Stacey and Grey, Daniele and Christopher, and Jason and Diana! Thanks everyone!

Our biggest news of the weekend is that we expect one of the chilluns to possibly come home within the next two weeks. Sulley is eating better and tolerating her food more than Colton so we believe she'll be the one to arrive home first. As funny as it may sound, girls tend to do better than the boys when it comes to this sort of stuff. We're not getting too excited just yet so please dont start jumping up and down quite yet...but if you feel the need, then by all means, PLEASE go ahead. We're continuing to take things with a grain of salt but are continuing to think positively (as always) and are staying open minded. In other preemie news, the Drs have begun giving both kiddos reflux medication. The drs are still unsure as to if the whole "non dairy" diet is working, so they've asked me to start a food diary in hopes of getting to the bottom of the situation. I'm also removing peanut butter, almonds, and nuts from my diet. The next step might be removing all soy from diet, including my beloved Morningstar Farms Breakfast sausages which I so dearly love! :( :(

This is very encouraging news. If Sulley does come home first I bet she'll never let her brother forget that! As much as you both want both babies home with you at least this way you can kinda "ease" into the schedule 1 baby at a time.
