Day 10

Avery today decided it was time to get her eyes open and get a look at all the people who are working and talking around her all the time.  Shannon was there when she opened them, and got this quick picture before she closed them again:



You can also see in this picture a bit, her stomach is sticking out still since she's still having trouble digesting.  She had a pretty good day today and might try to eat food again tomorrow.

Wren finished another round of phototherapy and was able to get back into a swaddle, which she really loves.

As soon as she gets swaddled, she will hang out and be relaxed for the rest of the day.  She gets agitated every time the nurses do "cares", which is when they change their diapers, give them food, and do other treatment.  She'd rather just get beauty sleep all day.  In order to more closely imitate the womb, once the babies don't need phototherapy, the isolette can be covered with a blanket most of the day to keep it nice and dark.

Wren's heart murmur hasn't let up yet, and after an echocardiogram, it was unsure if maybe Avery had one too.
