Well I have to say we had a little set back with Nicholas :(. He wasn't handling his vaccinations too well and his oxygen saturation was drifting a little too much, so he had to be placed back on a low flow oxygen assistance where he is receiving about 1ml of air per minute, but still on room air. He's doing a lot better tonight (another update crib side!) and the nurse may try to wean him down a bit, but as she explained the vaccinations can take a lot out of healthy babies let a lone 2 month old preemies! They ordered blood work for Nicholas and it came back normal, which is good! He'll be okay though, I know he'll fight through it. Joseph remains on his micro flow and hasn't really had any noticeable side effects from his vaccinations.
Joseph now weighs in at 5lb 2oz and Nicholas at 4lb 9.5oz. Those are last nights weights but they haven't had a weigh in yet today! They have both been doing well on there bottle feeds, but since they were a little tired from the shots they received mostly NG tube feedings today. Hopefully tomorrow we wake up to no oxygen for both and more bottle feeds, but the NICU personnel fully prepared Kalleigh and I for setbacks from day one, and we have truly been very blessed not to really have experienced anything negative since the first few weeks!!! They'll be fine though as the nurses have reassured us that these things are very normal, and our boys are going to be fine!!!
