Drink, Breathe, Repeat

We don't have too much new and exciting to report from yellow isolation land today, but we know we will disappoint our faithful blog readers without an update!

We are both getting 32ml of food over three hours now.  Riley is still getting hers in an hour and a half and I am still at 2 hours.  We are both taking four bottles a day of 5ccs of milk and doing great.  Since we are too young to know how to breathe and drink at the same time, we eat by taking a few sips of our bottle and then pausing to take a few breaths, then repeating these steps until our bottle is finished.  Riley is really good at coordinating her breathing, sucking and swallowing.  I am still working on getting used to drinking from a bottle.  Mommy and Daddy have each tried to feed us now.

We are both growing like weeds too.  I am up to 3lbs and 12 oz, and Riley is up to 3lbs and 15oz.  We will hit the 4 pound mark in no time!
