The boys are doing good.  Yesterday was a little let down for Emerson but the nurses said that it wasnt an let down.  Emerson had to go back on CPAP.  He had a couple heart rate drops without his CPAP.  He was doing so good remembering to breathe but the nurse said he was just tired from doing it for the last five days without it.  Cooper and Brayson are still on their CPAPs and are doing good.  Emerson and Cooper both weigh around 3lbs 1oz and Brayson is up to 3lbs 9oz.  Everyday they gain a little weight maybe an ounce maybe a gram.  The only day they do not gain is when they have a lot of bowel movements.  As far as their feedings Brayson is eating an ounce per feeding or 29cc's.  Cooper is eating 22cc's and Emerson is at 25cc's. 

Yesterday we took some clothes down to the boys.  We also took some receiving blankets as well.  All the nurses dressed them up for us.  The outfits were a little big for all of them but they sure were cute in them.  We held Brayson yesterday afternoon and Cooper last night.  Amon read some books to Cooper.  He read a Dr. Seuss book, The Little Train that Could and How much I Love You.  Cooper was wide awake when he was reading the books and very responsive.

Brayson got a little hair cut yesterday from our nurse Ashley.  Well in yesterdays post I mentioned his hat because of his hair looked so bad.  They tried to fix this yesterday.  Amon thought it was funny.  I will get Amon to put it on facebook for yall.
