Catching Up........

WOW....16 days old now!!!  Here's the latest on Jace and Jocie's progress and our "firsts" as parents :)  More pictures to be posted soon.

Sunday June 12th: 
Cody held Jace for the first time and changed his first diaper ever!!!  Jace did well for him!

Monday June 13th:
Jocie was taken off the nasal canula to just breathe on her own for a couple of hours and she did well!  They do that to just build her stamina.  They both began taking medication to hopefully help close the valve to decrease/eliminate their heart murmurs.  They both restarted their feedings and Jace FINALLY pooped!  Apparently he was saving up because the nurse said it was a good one!

Tuesday June 14th: 
Jace and Jocie got to meet their aunt Angi and Tami for the first time!  Jace required another blood transfusion and both were able to increase their feedings.

Wednesday 15th:
Cody changed his first diaper with Jocie and she wasn't as nice to him as her brother on Monday - it got to be Cody's first poopy diaper (mom has yet to experience it!).  She was such a squirmy worm that she ended up with some on her foot and the new diaper so this one wasn't as easy!  Lots more for us to learn I guess :)  They also took an x-ray of Jocie's stomach to be sure she has been tolerating her feedings.  She won't show much residual but her belly gets pretty distended.  The x-ray showed she is tolerating the feedings but it's just that she gets a lot of air in her belly throughout the day from the nasal canula.  Poor little girl because that cannot be comfortable.  But they extract air out of her belly throughout the day.
