Today was eye exam day...so Brian and I headed out for a birthday lunch date while that took place. The nurses tell us to take advantage of these opportunities for outings together because once they come home, we will not have time for these anymore. Both babies did really well with their exams and instead of coming back in 2 weeks their next check will be in 3 weeks. Drake has been holding steady today and if his blood gas goes well in the morning, they are planning to try him on cannula again. Hopefully, 3rd time will be a charm. Kennedy has been doing really well with her bottle feedings. She has taken 3 bottle feeds today. At this rate she will be up to full bottle feeds in no time.
Poppy & Uncle Mikey came to visit today, and Kennedy watched her first Cowboys game with them. This was the first time either of them had been able to hold her, and she loved every minute of their visit. Hopefully when Drake watches his first Cowboys game, they will win.
