We are just amazed how fast things are changing with our twins. They will be 36 weeks gestationally this coming friday. Last night, Joscel's nurse decided to take her out of her isolette and transfer her in a heated, open waterbed. "She's a big girl now and she can maintain her body temperature so it's time", they said. At first, Mommy was a little scared because we were used to seeing her in her safe, closed isolette. Taking her out seems to be quite worrysome because of the infection going around. It took a lot of convincing and encouragements from the nurses, especially from Jo, for me to feel fine about it. I felt guilty too of not trusting God about that issue, maybe I'm just being too protective.. Anyway, she was fine! And it seems like she's enjoying her new bed!
Today, they transferred her to LEVEL 2, Bed 11 which is just beside her brother. We are really getting spoiled! That is a big step forward for them and for us coz that means it's almost time to taking them home.
It is also time for them to be trained for bottlefeeding/breastfeeding which is so important. Joscel is doing great in sucking her soother but she has to work on her breathing and swallowing. Joshua is getting there though.

Thanks for the update - what wonderful news. Must be so exciting counting the days that Joscel and Joshua come home! Take care. LJ
I can't believe they are already 36 weeks! Amazing. I remember when I first came to visit Joshua and Joscel and the little babies without the covered isolettes seemed so vulnerable so I don't blame you for feeling scared. I'm happy to hear everything well and Josh and Joscel are that much closer to heading home!! What an awesome day that will be!!!!!!
wow! Starting to think about 'taking them home' is crazy wonderful news!! I am so glad they are doing well ... getting strong and healthy.
