This is how the babies nurse now holding hands!
TMI Sorry some of my boobs are showing, today they tried the babies on the breast. I was surprised because they were just born thurs at 33 weeks, so didn't think they could yet. Isabelle went right for it & did great!! Gabriel also got a little bit.

So precious 😢 I hope I'm successful at breast feeding my my girls. It's such an amazing bond!

Thank you, I'm sure you'll be successful at breastfeeding. Some people get lucky & produce a lot of milk right off, & babies latch on quick. Some don't have great supply right off, but pumping after the baby is born, & their lactation nurses also. Goodluck!! 😃
Congrats! Looks like they are doing awesome. Still love to follow your story - I was admitted yesterday at 33w1d for preterm labor with my twins. Didn't even know I was having contractions and I am 2 cm dilated. They have me hanging out on meds to stop the labor until Friday, when I'll be 34 weeks, but it's so reassuring to see your babes doing so well! It gives me hope that if these babies decide to show up before then, they will be fine.

Bottles without any use of the feeding tube! There's a good chance that they could come home in the next few days if they keep on the same path. I'm so anxious to have them home but want them to be as healthy as they can be! NICU is a tough place to be. I'm so glad you are all doing so well!

I actually ended up delivering my babies at 33w3d! They did have the steroid shots, so they were only on cpap for a day. They are still in NICU (going on day 10 tomorrow) but they've made huge improvements. Their biggest obstacle at this point is learning to feed. Today they both finished their

Thank you, Their doing great on their feedings, I was surprised at how quick, & easily my Babygirl latched on!! I'm getting a good amount of milk in already, I've always produced a lot of milk quickly for some reason..

Thank you, it's funny because she has way darker hair, & his is way blonder. She looks more like me when I was born, & he looks like his daddy when he was a baby. My fiancé had blonder hair blue eyes, but now he has brown eyes & a dark brown hair.
