Easter weekend

Back at the hospital…It’s funny how everyone kept talking about looking forward to the long weekend. I had myself convinced that “yes, a nice break from our routine would be nice.” I quickly remembered that there is no break from the routine of a parent, especially not parent of babies in hospital. Haha.

This wasn’t how we would have expected our first holiday as a family would turn out, but Chris and I had a nice long visit Easter Sunday and even had turkey dinner at the Ronald McDonald room. I encourage you all to donate when you go to McDonald’s. It’s amazing the volunteers they have and how much families rely on that room and the Ronald MacDonald House! It truly is my oasis, I’m writing this from here now in fact.

So the boys are doing great. Lucas has slowly slowly increased his feeds to 5ml every 3 hours and increasing 1ml every other feed. I think this should be a great pace for him until his belly gets bigger and his breathing regulates. He spent all night off any oxygen support so Chris and I are hoping he is turning a corner. Sebastian is also doing great. He decided to make a mess of his cot this morning as I changed his diaper. He apparently hadn’t finished just yet and poop came flying out with the pressure of a hose. It got all over me and well he needed a whole new cot that was the extent of the damage. Geez Sebastian, why didn’t you tell me you hadn’t finished yet! Haha.
