The Austin Girls

Kate had a very good day and I was able to hold her for the first time (10:30pm). I had to keep her bundled up and can you believe her hat was a bit too small for her? She weighed 4lbs 4 oz today. Hiding under the blankets are all the lines, IV and feeding tube in her mouth. We had a special 15 minutes together.
This is Kate's close up. The purple object is a pacifier. She's not a big fan of it. She has tape on her chin which is holding the feeding tube in place in her mouth.
This is Maddie. She is doing well, but has some catching up to do. Her hands and feet are pretty bruised up, so they had to place her IV in her head. Not a pleasant thought. Both girls came off the CPAP today, but Maddie needed a canular in her nose which provides extra oxygen. She also has a feeding tube in her mouth. Both girls are receiving breastmilk through their feeding tubes and are tolerating it well. Maddie weighed 5lbs 4oz today.

The girls are beautiful like their Momma. Both are little miracles! Thanks for sharing their pictures and their dramatic "story". We are all excited about their arrival and this Christmas will be unforgettable due to their births. Take care Karina!
Love to you all.
