Ethan is still having more bradys. He had one today while I was with him holding him. The good news is that he is recovering on his own. The bad news is that he is still having them. We found out today that the doctor ordered another echo on his heart. This time, the heart doctor herself will come vs the tech that did it when he was 1 week old. They hear heart murmurs occasionally which we are told is quite common with premature babies. The doctor will come Thursday to do the echo. Until then, we have a few days to worry about his heart--if something could be wrong. Lucky us! He is still on target to come home this Saturday.
Sydney had a great night last night. She seems to have settled into her basinet and doesn't look so lost. She has slept quite well today. Here is her new bed....
And here is Ethan's new bed. He doesn't have as much room anymore. Doug and I took shifts today going to visit him. We are going to go together tonight. Thanks to my mom and dad for sitting with Sydney.
Sydney had her first 'tummy time' with dad today. Annie, the occupational therapist, told us to do that in order to teach her how to lift her head. Doug was pretty excited that he was supposed to have them on his belly for 30 minutes every day. (Doug thinks he looks drunk in this photo. I told him that he looks like this in photos a lot...)
We had a great time giving her the first bath in our house. She didn't have such a good time though. She had so much fuzz in her hands and feet. She used to have sticky monitors there, so all the lint has something to cling to.

I hope all goes well with your visit tonight. You are all in our prayers. I am here (Utah) for the week so if there is anything that I can do for you please let me know. (I even do windows) We love you..

Baths are either the best or worst for these little ones. SG loved her baths and if she was screeching we could put her in the warm water and she would instantly relax. Sure shows how individual all these little people are! Hope Ethan's test comes out the way you want it!
that is the cutest video! some of our kids LOVEd baths and some screamed! one thing that did help was to get a washcloth wet with warm water and put it over their tummies and chest. (it covers practically the whole top of them at that size!) not that you needed any helps, but I found that out after a while with emmeli and it really helped her to calm down! she is so darling and so is ethan! can't wait until they're together again!
love ya! kate
