First Family Christmas

First Family Christmas
Originally uploaded by dcspinks

We had a wonderful Christmas morning. Waking at 6:00 am to get to the hospital by 6:30ish, we arrived to two rambunctious boys ready to eat. They gave us the most wonderful gift—they both took their full feeding from the nipple (breast & bottle)! After two weeks of getting a good portion of their feeding through a tube in their nose, Alexander and Oliver sucked down their whole allotment and then some. For two tired and anxious parents, this could not have been a better Christmas present. We hope this is a sign of them turning the corner on feeding, which has been the only thing keeping them in the hospital. Maybe we'll have them home before 2008.
