featured image Seven Days Old It’s Thursday again, which means the girls have made it seven days! A little progress each day and there’s a lot different. No More Central Line Elizabeth has a visible belly button! That’s thanks to having the central line out. We’re able to help with the cares while we’re there. We take their temperatures, change their diapers, and weigh them. Starting to get the touch back for diapers, though it is more difficult in a cage.

Progress

Babies are making steps!

featured image Update June 18 7:10 PM: Correct which therapies the girls are getting IVs Out! We’ve finally gotten both girls' IVs out, including the central line for Elizabeth. They now get all of their nutrients (except for Aspen’s caffeine) via feedings. They are adding additional calories to the breast milk for a few of their daily feedings. As you can see in the picture at the top of the post, Elizabeth has her high-flow air taken off.

Identical: Yes or No?

Some more answers.

The Big Question For those of you that don’t know, our twins were what they call “Dichorionic Diamniotic." This means that each baby had their own amniotic sac as well as their own placenta/umbilical cord. First, this is the least risky type of twins to carry since they can’t really “steal” anything from each other. This also means that odds are the twins were going to be fraternal (not identical). We were told that the odds were about 80/20.
