Also, Aubrey got her first meal, so both girls are getting a little bit of milk every 6 hours through gastric tubes. Here's a picture of Paige getting fed.
That tube goes into her mouth and down to her stomach, so no swallowing is required. Here's Aubrey getting fed for the first time. Oops, apparently I didn't take one of her being fed. Oh well, here's Aubrey's head in mommy's hand.
The doctors were considering starting Aubrey on indomethacin to treat her PDA, but there was still a little blood in her lung suction so they decided to put it off for a little bit. As we discussed in previous posts, indomethacin increases the bleeding risk, so it's usually avoided where there is high risk for bleeding.
It's kind of funny to Andrea and me how different both girls are right now. The biggest difference between the two is that Paige absolutely HATES anyone touching or messing with her. Here she's being messed with by the two purple monsters (gloves, which you can just see in the top left corner) and would be screaming bloody murder if not for her breathing tube.
Here's a picture of Aubrey while she is being attacked by the purple monsters.
She just goes with the flow, haha. All of this leads Andrea to believe that Aubrey will be her little snuggle bug and Paige will be the wild child.
Well, that about sums up Day 14. Here's a picture of Andrea reading a bedtime story to one of the girls like she does every night before she leaves.

I love that Andrea is reading to them. You two are great parents! Aubrey and Paige are so blessed to have you two!
