Ethan and Sydney are 6 weeks old today. We had a great time visiting our babies. Friday didn't seem so far away because we were now 'less than one week'. They both gained weight--Sydney up 50 grams to 2795 or 6 lb 3 oz. Ethan is up 55 grams to 3070 or 6 lb 12 oz.
They were doing so well on their feedings that their tubes were pulled again and we entered 'feeding on demand' again. They both did well.
Sydney is on her room air trial and her oxygen levels were great. The day was going so well. Here's a funny video of our two hungry babies before the 10 am feeding.
It's 1 am and I just called to check on them so I could sleep. The nurse said that Sydney was back on oxygen--she had some dips in her oxygen levels tonight. She also said that Ethan had a brady again tonight. That was pretty crushing news. We are beginning another countdown now to have 7 days free of bradys.
Sydney is doing well and will most likely be home mid-week this next week. We're struggling with the thought, but insurance is king and they make the call in some ways.
So, on a brighter note, we're taking a poll. Please click on the comments link below this post and let us know what you think.
Who do Ethan and Sydney look like--me or Doug? I am including our baby photos to see if that helps. (Too bad I cut mine when I was scrapbooking)

My vote says Ethan looks like Doug and Sydney has her mommy's looks. -Just as it should be!
Ditto. They both have a "Dougish" look to them but Ethan definitely looks more like Doug and Sydney definitely looks more like Heather. :)
I think they both have a bit of each of you, but I agree with the first posts! Mom=Sydney, Ethan=Dad They are still adorable. I need to put that little Ethan in my prayers more often! I hope he stays brady free from now on! We love you. See you shortly. Sar (ps. I see some similarities between Sydney and my Grace)
I completely agree with everyone else. I can see both of you in each of them but Sydney looks more like mom and Ethan looks tons like his daddy!
Ditto on the looks. They are both so adorable. I think they are the most prayed about babies, Family, personal and Temple. Think of all the stories that you will be able to tell them when they get older. We love you both and can't wait to see you next week.
Love
Carrie
