2 Weeks Old

Monday March 3
I can't believe it has been 2 weeks already! Jack is adjusting well at home & is eating like a champ. We take him in for his doctors appointment & weight check today. Big brother Sammy has been helpful with holding bottles. I can tell he is trying hard to command our attention.

Daddy got Sam a fire truck train! All the best things in one !

EWearing his favorite shirt

Miles is still enjoying his own room in the hospital. Yesterday he took in 85% of his bottles & today has been about 50%. He is tired! Yesterday we found out that on Saturday the nurse stimulated Miles during a bradycardic episode. He has been having a few per day that we just let him be and he comes out of it on his own. We were irritated that they didn't tell us right when it happened. I think she panicked & if he was left alone he would have came out of it just fine.  Soooooooo 5-7 more days in the hospital. The soonest he'll be home is Friday. He does need a few more days to work on the eating but it is frustrating to keep him here. We are ready to have our little family together!

Twin zygosity 

The most common question I feet is if twins run in my family. There are a lot of twins on my Grandma Ekern's side, but identical twins are not genetic. The egg splits. Because there was one placenta & 2 separate sacs, they are considered monochorionic diamniotic. Twins sharing a placenta are always identical.
