Introducing...

...some of the littlest people at the hospital right now. Two of them weigh 2.8 lbs and the other one weighs 3 lbs. 

I have been working closely with them and their moms for the past couple of weeks. Two of the moms are teenagers and needed a lot of encouragement and help getting started, but they are all doing so well!

They pay attention to the time, hand express milk, wash the diapers, keep up with feedings every two hours, change the bedding in the incubators and watch those NG tubes carefully! It has been fun to see how even the 15-year-old has adjusted to being a mom, and not just a mom, but a mom of a very small premie baby girl! 

One of the babies is especially lively and she pulled her NG tube all the way out two days in a row…much to her distress, I put it back in both times.
