The girls had to say goodbye to their Arkansas aunt Jennifer today. They were so sad to see her go! She put the quilts she made over their beds as decoration and light filter. All the nurses kept coming over to brag on how pretty they were.
Abigail didn't eat again today in hopes to let her stomach settle. She should resume feedings again on Tuesday.
Speaking of eating, Ansley was able to try eating from a bottle for the first time. Babies aren't able to suck, swallow, and breathe until at least 34 weeks, so why not try her the day after that mark??!! She did very well for her first time. She was able to eat half of her 1 ounce bottle by mouth and the rest through the tube. We are very proud of her. Her nurse Jennifer was also impressed.
Abigail weighed the same as yesterday, 3lbs, 15 oz. Ansley gained an ounce to 3 lbs, 11 oz. She is catching up.
Both girls are doing very well and wanted us to thank you for your prayers. Thanks to all of those who continue to make our lives easier by your calls, cards, meals, and prayers. We can't thank you enough.

Ansley liked taking the bottle from her Daddy.

Abigail dreaming about her turn with a bottle. :)

We love seeing the pictures and reading about the girls each day. It's the first thing I do when I get my break at school. They are so precious, and we are so thankful that they are doing well. We pray for you and them often. We love you!

Hi Rebecca and Eric, I tried sending you a message Sunday but it didn't go. These things are too complicated for senior citizens.
How precious your dolls are. I can tell they have grown each time I see them. Ansley has beautiful eyes in her latest picture. I could also see Jennifer's sweet quilt.
We plan to come to Nashville Friday evening, then on to Ashville to see my sis Saturday, then back to Nashville Monday. Hope to be able to see Ansley and Abigail on Monday evening. Will talk to you by phone. You are still in our thoughts and prayers constantly. Love, Jerry and Betty
