Last night Eva and Emilia were moved from the prime position on the ward, leaving space for babies in need of more intensive care. So we will have the left hand side (2 corners) all to ourselves. At the moment there is only one other baby in our room and they are a really lovely family who like it to be quiet. They have just moved into the right hand corner. Eva is very sensitive to noise and so it is perfect that we are more spread out. This really does feel like progress!
I held Eva yesterday and Jens held Emilia. There was still some plinging but nowhere near as much. Emilia almost turned her head all by herself as well and dislodged her feeding tube which the nurse then had to pull out. Both babies are now free of all drips. Eva gets 24ml of food and Emilia 20ml followed by a solution that replaces the nutrients that she loses as her food doesn't travel the full length of her intestine. They should be little fatties in no time.
We are meeting with the Dr today at 11.00. I am going to ask for more specific information about Eva's lungs and try and find out when they can go into a bed together.
So the sun is shining today and I feel really great :) Wanja got me and her brother tickets to the opera Salome last night (easily the weirdest thing I have ever seen, worth a watch though - not sure Jens appreciated my opera singing when I got home). It is the first time I have ventured into the city since the birth and it felt good. I bought the girls a pair of comfy pants each, the first thing I have bought! As soon as they go into the bed they can start wearing clothes. My Mum has bought them 1,4kg clothes and they are so so so cute.
