Suck, swallow, breathe (5 weeks, 1 day old)

Corbin and Quinn continue to experiment with eating by mouth. Quinn took 1 mL by bottle today! Both boys began work on getting familiar with breastfeeding, too. They each did a great job. Their vitals (respiration rate, heart rate and oxygen saturation) all remained within normal limits during the trials, which is important. Just like with everything else, this will happen in baby steps but the boys had a good start.

The first and last picture are what each of the boys are known for in the NICU: Corbin for his crazy, fuzzy hair and Quinn for wiggling so much he managed to get himself halfway out of his clothes. The middle pics are the guys in their matching outfits (and neither were looking happy about it).

Boys are looking good! I think Corbin favors Mike & Quinn is a little Hillary! Something about the way he wrinkles up his face! Thanks for sharing!

No one told me the boys had a website, so this is my first time seeing them, other than the pictures Vivian showed me. They are precious! Jakob loves them, everytime I scroll and he sees a picture he says, "Awww, babies!" Can't wait to see you guys! Again, they're beautiful boys! Congrats!

Morgan, Mark & Jakob
