Family Resemblance

There isn't much new news to report today.  Evalyn and Lillian continue to do well.  They require less supplemental oxygen and continue to increase their calories.  They are now both over 2 pounds.  Their skin is looking a little bit better.  It is less translucent which looks a bit more healthy.

Heidi and I have been able to hold them every day.  The kangaroo care (holding skin to skin) is supposed to coincide with feedings which are well structured events.  This means Heidi can't hold both during her visit and it's going to be tough for me to get there at the right time with my work schedule.

In any case Heidi and I are pleased with their progress, but have a hard time coming to grips with them not coming home until August.

On Sunday I showed a picture of Evalyn's face plant sleep style.  Heidi and I both thought that it looked familiar, but had a hard time placing why.  We figured it out

Preston Advanced Face Plant Sleep Style with Added Traffic Cone

A couple of years ago while at the Point Mugu Air Show Preston got tired and needed a place to rest.  The only place he could find shade was in a traffic cone so he stuck his head inside and took a nap.  You might call this strange, I call it resourceful.  Oh, in case you were wondering the inside of a traffic cone is very dirty.
