Happy Birthday, Daddy!



It's Bubba's birthday today!!!!  Margot gave him a great present - she broke 4 lbs!  She is now 4 lbs, 1 oz, and David is 4 lbs, 10 oz!  A couple of nights ago, the March of Dimes sponsored a scrapbooking session where we could make signs for our babies' rooms.  I decided this would be the perfect opportunity to make a surprise birthday sign for Bubba from the twins.  Scrapbooking is harder than I thought!  I worked with the nurses to get Margot all un-wired and with David in his crib for the picture.  It was so fun.  Bubba loved the surprise, and so did the rest of the NICU.  

Update from the doctor today:  Both Margot and David had rough nights last night with lots of alarms/episodes, some of which needed stimulation.  And Margot pulled out her NJ tube!  They put a new tube in her and x-rayed to make sure it was in the right spot (it was).  Because of all the alarms, David is remaining on his 6 hours on/6 hours off of CPAP, and Margot is going back up to a 2 liter flow on the nasal cannula.  Bubba and I held the babies this afternoon, and they were precious as always.  They did have several alarms while we were there, but were able to come out of them all on their own.

    A belated happy birthday to our favorite new family man! Hugs from Cheryl and Pat. You and MA are beautiful parents, under some pretty challenging conditions. How Margo and David are going to love hearing all these stories when they are in middle school!
