What is the next step?

Over the past week the routine has been established. Mom (Stephanie) spends a lot of time with them and is learning the optimum feeding schedule for the girls to practice nursing. Yes...you read it right...practice! Preemies do have to learn how the nurse and both girls are doing well in the category. The main goals at this time are for them to be able to: 1. feed on their own, 2. breath with out any Brady-cardia events (for preemies, forgetting to breath, normal at this stage), 3. gain weight and be at 5 lb. As of Sunday January 25, Lauren's weight was at 3 lb 9 oz and Emily's was at 3 lb 10 oz.
