5ml's down!

We finally got the feeding order at about 1pm ;) aaahh, hospital/
surgeon time! Evan received 5mls of breast milk through his NG tube
and will get 5 more every hour. Each day they will increase by 5, so
tomorrow he will get 10mls every hour. Baby steps. In a week he will
be up to an ounce per hour which is the goal right now.

The boys have been snuggling very happily for a couple hours now! The
word of heart.melting.cuteness has traveled fast and the boys have
been on "show" to many onlookers this morning. So far they have been
very respectful and adorned from a distance ;) We are already taking
the risk of bringing healthy boys into a hospital but the benefit of
their love and touch for Evan outweigh the risk right now and we are
being very careful to keep them all clean.

Ben has graciously offered to let me stay with Evan for a second night
tonight instead of switching. Hopefully we get him up to his new room
and comfortable before dark!
