Our 1st week birthday

In the past week we have done our very best to grow and mami and daddy keep telling us we are doing such a wonderful job!

Lucas: “I escaped phototherapy and have started to drink some of mami’s milk. I can only tolerate 1ml every 2 hours. I’ve had some good poops to clean out the meconium from my system. Im still on a little bit of high flow to help me expand my lungs while I breath. I fought off an infection and had my 1st blood transfusion to increase my red blood cells. I like to sleep with one eye open occasionally. My mami and daddy say I remind them of my Tia Elisa. I also like to sleep with my ears covered, I must not like loud noises. On the 23rd I got to snuggle with mami and my bro for the 1st time since being in mami’s belly. This helped me regulate my temperature, heart rate, and breathing. I also got my first haircut so that they could take a blood sample from my noggin. I got to meet Nanny and Grampy Lowe for the 1st time this week. Mami and daddy say I look like Ill have daddy’s limbs. Yippy! And over the week I’ve gained 130 grams from my birth weight of 890 grams.”

Sebastian: “Ive got some pretty cool goggles on right now since this is the 2nd time Im on phototherapy for my bilirubin levels. My CPAP helps me remember to take some good deep breaths. On the 24th I got to snuggle with dad and his hairy rug chest. I’ve had some good poops to clean out the meconium from my system. Im fighting off an infection. I like to be very vocal to the nurses about what I do and don’t like with my feisty personality. On the 23rd I got to snuggle with mami and my bro for the 1st time since being in mami’s belly. This helped me regulate my temperature, heart rate, and breathing. My mami and daddy heard me sneeze for the 1st time and they said I sound just like mami sneezing in multiples. I got to meet Nanny and Grampy Lowe for the 1st time this week. I apparently have daddy’s limbs. Yippy! And over the week I’ve gained 90 grams from my birth weight of 1270 grams.”
