So another week and we're nearing the end - wherever that may be. Once neonatals reach 1800 grams, then they are of weight to move into a crib. Melia has progressed and Elle is waiting her turn out. As it happens, Elle needed some breathing assistance again - hopefully for the last time as we head into the final month of NICU care. I know we've said it before and we'll say it again, but "it will be much easier when...". Somehow, I'm thinking we'll be saying that a few more times, like "when they go to school" or "when they start paying for our retirement."

Gramma & grampa Melton (Linda & Ed) flew in from Atlanta, GA for a long visit weekend. Had it not been for visiting hours, I'm sur eon their way through Windsor to Kingsville, they would have had a peek. Saturday afternoon, they made it in bringing great gramma Doris along for her first viewing. Gramma made a wonderful, padded, play mat for the girls - nice for rolling around. The jury is still out on who the girls resemble most - only time will tell.
