Eleven weeks old today - three weeks until the official due date. We're definitely approaching the right end of this experience now.
Another positive day in NICU today. Stanley was weighed again, and is now 5lb 4oz; he's really piling on the ounces now. Both the kids had some really alert periods, which is so nice to see. But it does make it even more difficult to leave them when they're like that.
With Stanley being on pretty much no oxygen, and Willow still lagging quite a way behind, it looks like Stanley will end up going home before his sister. Not quite sure how we're going to deal with that, especially as the boy won't be allowed back in NICU after being exposed to the outside world. But we'll just wait and see what happens; Willow could suddenly 'turn the corner' and drop her O2 and CPAP requirements. She's shown us already that she has her mother's fighty stubbornness - we just need one more push.
