The boys got the convertible top put down on their incubator last night! They took off the top about 11:00 PM. The nurses told us that if their temperature is going to drop it usually does it in the first hour, but both of them have been fine. It's a lot easier to change diapers now that I can just reach in! They also have both gained weight. Kyle is now 5lbs 6 oz. and Reed is 5lbs 1oz. Kyle had another Bradycarida this morning about 5:30AM, so they are going to start reflux medicine today. Every time he has a Bradycardia they tack on 5 more NICU days, so it looks like Reed will definitely be coming home without his brother. The nurse said they just can't tell the insurance company, "Reed needs to stay so he can babysit his brother." We have to take the car seat with us tonight because Reed will need to have his car seat test. They have to be able to sit in their car seats for an hour without any problems before they will let them go. So we many have a new little baby at our home very soon!

They look so cute and tiny! Congrats on Reed's good news...hopefully the car seat test will go well! Hope the reflux meds work for Kyle.
How CUTE! My friend Beth said her twin girls liked to sleep with their backsides touching also. The comfort touch! Good luck to Reed on passing his first test! that is interesting, I have never heard of that before, but then again, I don't have much experience with preemies.
Love ya...Lu
