Tired

We are tired! Obviously parenting of any type is tiring, but parenting one baby at home and one in the hospital is quite difficult. Thank goodness my mom is still here to cook, clean, do laundry, and run errands for us!

Jude is still struggling. His oxygen settings have been changed to reflect "home oxygen" settings, which means the doctors and nurses are pretty set on him coming home on O2. He still has to work on taking all of his feeds by a bottle, but once he does that, he'll probably be coming home. He currently bottles every other feed. We're still praying that by the time he gets his feeding worked out, he won't need O2 all the time, but it's not looking great at this time. His resting heart rate has dropped quite a bit over the past few days. It could be due to him getting bigger, but the doctors are watching him closely. They did another EKG yesterday, but that didn't reveal much other than some irregular beats.

Hazel has her day and night mixed up, but she'll get it right one of these days! :) She eats and sleeps all day and then eats and wants to play all night.

I'll pray for rest for you guys! Josie definitely had her days and nights mixed up and it was exhausting! I hope Hazel turns it around soon :)
