Traumatic

Traumatic!  Tonight we had a fantastic dinner with Moma Rita, Papa Rolland, and Gran at Felix's down on the causeway here in Mobile.  It was really good!  Dad and I had a dozen raw oysters with some gumbo.  Jill and mom had a white crusted fish and Gran had fried shrimp and oysters.  After dinner we came back to check out the boys in the NICU.  Immediately when we walked in Cooper and Emerson were getting baths or were just finished with their baths.  If you could have seen Cooper's face it was so funny and cute.  He was definetly traumatized.  Emerson was actually in the bath and he had the same facial expressions.  They all receive baths on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday nights but Jill and I have never experienced them bathing since birth.  That was an awesome ending to a good day!  Brayson was not in the bath but he was wide awake in his incubator.  We usually take the camera everytime but for some reason Jill forgot the camera tonight so we do not have pictures.  However we did take some pictures with their little disposable cameras that Gran brought us.  It was really cute but pretty traumatic for Cooper and Emerson.

As far as their health they are doing pretty good.  Emerson is weighing 3lbs 8oz, Brayson has not been weighed since last night so not an update on him.  Cooper now weighs 3lbs 9oz.  All boys are still on their canulars.  Brayson decided that he needed a high flow canular like his brothers.  We held Cooper and Emerson this morning but did not get to hold Brayson today.  As I mentioned in the above paragraph Moma Rita and Papa Rolland came to see them today.  Also we had our friend Stephanie and her girls come and visit today.  They are still having some heart rate drops but not as often!  They are now 33weeks of gestation.  We cant go home until they are at least 35 weeks of gestation.  That doesnt mean we will be going home though.  They will probably be ready by the end of June.  I really hope they will be able to go home at 35weeks though.

During Cooper and Emerson bath we got to hold them up close to see if they look a like.  And after posting that comment last night about them looking a like, Jill and I think that they are definetly going to look a like.
