The boys are all doing very well too. Jack and Graham have been with us in the room all day. They've both feeding occasionally and sleeping a lot. The pediatricians have come through several times and looked them both over. They've passed all of their tests with flying colors and the pediatricians are very pleased. They finally went to the nursery about 15 minutes ago to get their baths and rest some over there.
Anthony is also doing well, but because of his size and blood sugar, they decided they're going to keep him downstairs overnight. They want his blood sugar to be over 60. Early this morning it was 40, and it has steadily risen throughout the day to 58. At one point it was actually above 60, but it's back down to 58, so they just want to monitor him. So far, he hasn't needed any IV fluids to help with it...mainly because he's been eating really well (formula). He's hovering right at 4 lbs (1812 grams). In all likelihood, they say, he'll probably come up to our room tomorrow morning. They actually said that if we really wanted him up here, they'd probably move him now, but when I said we'd probably have the boys in the nursery for most of the first night, she said that they'd probably just keep him downstairs in that case. His temperature has been fine, so that's good news as well.
We had lot of family visitors today. Uncle Marc took lots of pictures for us, so I'll post some of those here. Unfortunately we don't have any pictures of Anthony since they don't allow cameras in the NICU, so we'll get some of those tomorrow, but here are some of Jack & Graham and the family. Early pictures are difficult to determine which baby is which until we finally found the red magic marker and "labeled" them!
