Rooming In

What a day it has been. We started out by checking out of the Ronald McDonald House and into St. Luke's Bed and Breakfast. Actually we are in a 12 foot by 12 foot room with Callie, me, Amanda, Saxon and Ella. Needless to say it is VERY cozy!

But we are doing well with our rooming in as both babies gained weight when they were weighed this evening. Ella continues to be the heaviest, tipping the scales at a whopping 5 pounds, 4 ounces. Saxon, however, has seen the greatest percentage gain. Today he hit the 4 pound mark for a total gain of 9 ounces since birth.

It's a hold up

Right after we got here today, I got a lesson in baby massage today, working on Saxon. He loved it and I thought it was pretty fun too. Unfortunately for Saxon, the day took a sad turn after that. The little guy got his circumcision done early this afternoon. The procedure went without a hitch and he is now recovering.

Callie and I got training in how to use the monitors the babies will come home on. So far tonight we've had a couple of alarms from Saxon, but we think they might have been caused by the Tylenol they gave him.
