update
Here Julie! This week has been pretty good for Miss Hallie. We have only had to use her tube about 3 times in the last 3 days... She is taking her formula by mouth (with oatmeal added), mainly when she is sleeping, but also a few times when she was up! She threw up this morning for the first time in 2 days. Heath on the other hand has been eating up a storm ... I feed him SO much before bed time and he is still up every 3 hours.... We have started giving in and letting him sleep on his tummy some. I know, bad parenting! We have 2 dr appts next week. One with Leffler (eye) and then we go and get our RSV shots again on thurs. Im so excited about getting their weight checks..I know Hallie has grown! Who cares what the scales say!! Im about to leave for Austin (my cross country team made it to state), Im excited about that..and most excited about getting a full night SLEEP!! I hate that I will be so far away from the kids though.... Ill be ready to get back home, that is for sure.

Do not feel bad about letting them sleep on their tummies every now and then. My boys loved to sleep on their tummies for the first few months they were home (the only way to get them to sleep for extended periods, even after we had getten rid of all the monitors). Preemies... what can you do? What ever works!

The NICU let Brayden sleep on his tummy for 2 months. I was not successful in breaking him of the habit. Ironically enough, now that they can both roll over, Brayden wants to sleep on his side and Baylee (the one who was only in NICU for 2.5 weeks and didn't develop the tummy habit) insists on sleeping on her tummy.
