Movin' on up

Our babies are 7 weeks old today. Time really flies!

The great news of the day and the reason for the title of this post is that all three boys have been upgraded to NICU 2! That means that they're one step closer to coming home! We still have several weeks at least, but this is wonderful news!

NICU 2 has separate rooms for the babies, instead of just pods. It's more relaxed over here because the babies here aren't as intensive as the babies in NICU 1. The babies here are more stable and the nurses don't have to intervene quite as much.

Here is what Stokes & Ryan's room looks like. Ryan on the left & Stokes on the right.

William is sharing a room with another baby. I snapped a picture of his room for you as well. Unfortunately the lights were out so you can't see it very well. :(

Pictures are blurry because my phone was inside a plastic baggie (NICU rules...shhh...we sometimes cheat with this rule).

If you were observant or looked really closely at the picture of Stokes & Ryan's room, you may have noticed another change. Ryan is in an open air crib! That's 2 big changes for Ryan today (changing cribs and the move to NICU 2)!

Doesn't he look sweet???

Thomas fed Ryan and I fed Stokes with bottles for their 3:00 feeding this afternoon. They both did really well and took their whole bottles. William will get a bottle during his 9:00 pm feeding. The hardest part for me is definitely burping the babies! I can't tell if they burped or not due to all the grunts and coos and noises they make! 

On another note, Thomas and I officially became members of Advent United Methodist Church today. We have attended church there for a while and started the process to become members earlier this summer. Unfortunately, we weren't able to become members at that time because I was unexpectedly admitted to the hospital on bed rest. So anyway, we joined Advent, the boys moved to NICU 2, we got to see several family members over the weekend and it's been a great couple of days!
