Merry Christmas, Happy One Month Birthday, Happy New Year, and Happy Due Date. In the past few weeks since I've last updated, lots has happened and we have had many causes for celebration. Beyond just the holidays, the boys have hit some big milestones.
Colton- 1 month old!

Hudson - 1 month old!
Flashback
Having passed their due date (Jan 8), the boys are officially considered newborns now rather than premies. Both have grown considerably in the past couple weeks- at Hudson's last weigh in he was 8lbs 13oz and Colton is now over 7lbs. Hudson no longer fits in newborn clothes and has graduated to 0-3 month sizes. Both are doing great with feedings, taking almost 4oz of breast milk every time, and will occasionally sleep a full 4 hours at a time rather than being up every 3 hours or less. Yeah for sleep!
Last week Hudson had his first appointment with the pulmonologist in Reno. Based on his vitals and how well he had been doing since coming home, she ordered an in-home O2 test for this past Monday. So, for 12 hours Monday night, we took him off the oxygen and keep him monitored on a pulse oximeter. Thursday we got the results from the Dr: numbers were great (consistent 94% O2 levels) and he was cleared to be taken off all oxygen support! The medical supply company came yesterday to pick it all up.
Goodbye O2 and Apnea Monitor. You will not be missed. :)
Landon and I have been able to work out a schedule so that the boys won't have to be in day care right now and we can still both work. He is opening morning at the coffee shop and there until noon. I am working from home in the mornings and then in the office from noon until about 5.

Colton's sweet smile! Love to see Hudson without oxygen!
