4 weeks - exciting day!

Today was one of the best days in a really long time.  All 3 of our kids came a long way today.  We're so proud of them.  Char was so excited that they were doing well enough that she could hold Bennett.  She chose Bennett because "he's the littler one".  She also listened to Andrew's heart and "helped" change his diaper.  Andrew was keeping his temperature on his own so we dressed him for the first time and kept the lid open.  Then, Bennett got his CPAP off.  He is now on the high flow; which means no bubbles, no hat, and just loose prongs in his nose that provide air.  We'll see how he does over night with it.  They'll probably try Andrew off CPAP tomorrow as well.  This is really exciting that they are progressing like this!

it looks like the boys had another plan for their care - Bennett went off CPAP

Andrew really comfy in his clothes; well as comfy as you can be with prongs shoved up your nose

This was so great!

Char talking to nurse Adrian.  She was so proud of herself.  Then out of nowhere she told me that I was bigger than Adrian.  I'm glad it wasn't the other way around; could have been embarrasing

Bennett's monitor after the CPAP was off.  Everything's really stable.  (These are the monitor that we look at for hours on end while in the NICU.  Enough to drive you nuts when the alarms go off!)
