Fighting champs

Lucas’ 24 hour blood culture came back negative which means the antibiotics are working and my little boy is working hard to get rid of the bug. So Lucas’ haircut looks awful. Haha. We are thinking we’ll just shave his entire head. Let him start from scratch. And that way it’ll be easier for you all to tell them apart. Haha. Do to his infection he wasn’t tolerating his feeds so they put him on NPO (no eating) for a day and have started him back up slowly. I believe today he was at 5ml. His breathing has stabilized a bit too and he’s now on low flow. So overall he’s doing well and fighting like a champ. Lucas is at 3lbs. 4 oz.

Sebastian is doing great! He has reached full feeds now at 33ml and will increase with his weight. The nurses think he’s ready to be put to breast. Not for feeding but to start getting familiar with the area. Haha. So we’ll see how that goes tomorrow! Mami and daddy got to watch their first bath time today with Sebastian (Lucas got his yesterday) and he did great. He seemed to love the warm tub. I”m intimidated for when its finally my turn to bathe him since he’s so small and slippery but I’m sure with practice it will come easily. Chris didn’t seem intimidated at all and is looking forward to his first chance to give them a bathe.

As for us….we’ve been busy. Still not quite into a routine but figuring one out slowly. Also, we were able to sublet our apartment for May 1st. Yay! So that’s no longer a worry. Our new apartment is coming along. We’ve started getting the boys room ready, a little nesting never hurt anyone! And new family and friends have come to meet the boys which has been extremely important to us! All in all the Lowe’s are doing great!

Auntie Kim came on her birthday to meet the boys for the 1st time. I can’t believe it has almost been a month since they’ve been born and she’s getting to finally meet them! Cousin Harleigh also got to meet the boys too! She couldn’t believe how small they were. She mentioned they don’t look that small in the pictures.
