Super Short Update

I noticed that it's been over a week since we've posted any updates. In short, here's a bullet list of recent progress:

1) The boys are out of the isolettes and have moved to regular bassinets;
2) They're taking the full recommended volume of breast milk for their age/size;
3) They're receiving a little extra calorie fortification in their milk;
4) Both boys started bottle feeding and nursing on Sunday! they're actually a little ahead of the game on developing their suck/swallow/breath reflex. Oswell drank 20mL (out of 38mL) on his first bottle attempt; Trajan drank 33mL (of 38); and apparently, Oswell did some real nursing last night. Good work, boys!
5) Skye is certainly not 100% yet, but she's making good progress on her own recovery;
6) Seville has her moments, but continues to be a really sweet girl in the midst of all this madness; she's also started talking with excitement about taking care of HER baby brothers when they get home from the hospital;
6) Me - I'm good.
