Another 'family photo' we took yesterday. I forgot to post it. We were both so tired in this one.
Ethan is free of bradys today, so we are on day 1 of 7 until he can come home. He will come home the following day after 7 brady-free days, making it 8 days total.
They both gained weight again.
Ethan gained 25 cc and is approaching 6 lbs 11 oz with his cast.
Sydney gained 20 grams and just 1 oz shy of 6 lbs.
Sydney was awake for all 3 feedings while we were at the hospital today and nearly took her whole feeding every time. We joke about wanting to sabotage her success in order to keep her with Ethan, but there is not much we can do. She will have her room air trial tomorrow and we're hoping she passes so she can stay 2 more days off oxygen and come home without oxygen and monitors.
Ethan was pretty sleepy today--awake for only 1 of the three feedings. He does really well when he is awake...but it is literally impossible to get him to wake up and eat. We've tried everything we can think of.
Not a whole lot of changes today. This was a day for them to recover after we pushed them too hard the past few days. It was fun to spend time with them after a good night's sleep.
A short video I took today. I noticed that we're hard to hear in these videos and it's mostly because the room is usually fairly quiet and there can be several other babies and parents in the room. There are 3 or 4 other babies in the same room as them, but we're in our own corner with lots of space. It's so nice.

Soooo precious! Just six days to go Ethan. Be strong buddy! Work hard! You can do it! Your Grandpa and Grandma Beckstrand are pulling for you! Breathe Sydney Honey! You are almost there. Deep breaths are a good thing. G&G Beckstrand are pulling for you too. Here is an internet hug for everyone! ! !
That little Sydney is getting prettier and prettier everyday. She has such nice coloring and cute cheeks! Ethan is getting more manly as he ages. Here's praying for great successes this week.
