Eating well

Both girls are able to nurse half the amount they normally get through the tube, so they are both doing really good. Sofira was desating while nursing so we are giving her a little air with a blow by tube to help her out and remind her to breath while she eats. By doing that bumped her up to what Jade is currently doing of 24 cc's,  they eat 48 cc's a feeding  (1.5 oz).  So we just have to keep working there little mouth muscles and so forth to get them to be able to endure through a whole feeding.  They are so fun to hold now without all there wires and tubes and things on. I realized that I haven't put a picture up since they've been off the air so here is a few cute ones of them.
