...to Nursery 3! The NICU at our hospital has 3 nurseries, aptly named Nursery 1, 2 and 3. Nurseries 1 and 2 are for the the babies who are in need of lots of support (e.g., respiratory, cardiac, etc.). We were previously in Nursery 2. When I went to see the boys this morning, the sweet unit clerk was so excited to tell me that they had been moved. They are in Nursery 3 because they are stable and do not require enough support to still be in Nursery 1 or 2. Nursery 3 is where most babies move to before they head home, so this is an important step for our boys. (I did also learn that the NICU is currently operating at capacity, so that is probably the most important reason why the boys were moved. But I prefer to focus on the fact that they were moved because they are stable and not in need of too much support).
There aren't any other new updates today. Sweet Carter is still holding steady at 2lbs, 15oz. Any day now, we're going to see 3lbs. Anderson gained again and now weighs 4lbs, 9oz.
So you might be wondering what a difference of 2 inches and 1lb, 10oz looks like. Well, here it is:
 |
Carter loves his "little" brother

 |
| I think Carter's legs are virtually half the circumference of Anderson's |
 |
| And their heads are a little different in size as well. I think Anderson will be angry with me later in life for this picture. Not exactly his best angle. |
