Sydney gave us a little scare tonight in that she turned blue while sleeping. Her chin was slightly down in her chest so we adjusted her airway and she was fine. I'm going to talk to the doctor tomorrow about that--a little nervous that could happen at home. She was even on oxygen when it happened.
Ethan had no bradys today--hooray! We also made a significant discovery today. Ethan is officially a red head. We think it will be more of a strawberry blonde at this point, but who knows? He has so much personality. The nurses talk about how vocal he his. He is constantly making grunting noises, humming sounds, or something. Sydney on the other hand is very quiet.
The doctor made no new changes to the orders for either of them. We are hoping that Sydney does better off oxygen tomorrow. I think they gave her a day to recover before trying again tomorrow on a room air trial. We'll see what happens. Doug and I are gearing up for bringing her home with monitors, although we are not thrilled about the idea.
In between feedings, we head out to the lobby for about an hour and work on our computers (Doug-school, me-work) and eat...something I do a lot of lately. Thought I'd show you what we were doing today.
This is Ethan getting his temperature taken. We do this every time we feed them--diaper change (we report if they pooped and what color before giving it to the nurse to weigh), take temperature, weigh them, and then feed them (then re-weigh). It's quite the ordeal, but we love doing their 'cares' as the nurses call it.

I LAUGHED OUT LOUD at your "off time" from the nursery! Looks like doug needs to practice up on his basketball shooting skills! you guys are so much fun and have such a good attitude! way to go on making us laugh! love you guys! kate
The little cries Ethan makes are so cute. Spencer watched the video of Doug like ten times...he is usually bored waiting for me to read your blog every morning, but not today=)
I think that Ethan definitely looks a lot like Doug. But not exactly, of course. And Sydney seems to look like Heather, but I need to see her in person to really say I think.
cute post. i loved watching doug pretend like he was good at basketball. jk! hope those babies come home soon!
To my own defense the garbage was about 20 feet away and that box is empty and very light weight...so I would like to challenge others to do better. You will find the garbage on the 3rd floor of Timpanogos hospital! When I started trying to throw it in the trash the box was fading to the left and I said "we are inside there shouldn't be a draft", but then I realized that the vents in the ceiling were creating a draft :).
So dang cute. A red head.....yes. He will get his good looks from his Dad. Can't wait to hear when they get to come home. Love you lots
