Day 4 - News and pictures

Here we are on day 4 or 5 ... it's all become a bit of a blur already. The boys are doing great. They are continuing to feed well both attaching reasonably well and sucking for about 20-30 minutes. Lucas is a better feeder than Sam, and as such will continue to maintain his weight lead on his little brother. When they're not feeding they pretty much sleep, sleep and sleep. That is just great as far as we are concerned. It's hard not to compare them to Mitchy at the same stage. He did the sleeping thing extremely well, but he didn't do the feeding thing nearly as well as either Lucas or Sam. Both boys are a little bit jaundiced, but nothing that needs to be addressed at this time.

Meeks is doing very well, her blood tests show that her blood count is improving but she will still probably need to stay an extra day in the hospital. As such we probably wont be home until Sunday.

Meeks' Mum came in today to see the boys. She has been sick with a cold so she still hasn't had a chance to cuddle them. There will be plenty of time for that later, but right now she is missing it a lot. My Mum and Dad dropped in today as well and had a cuddle with the boys.
