 Naoya in samurai print clothe mama made  Masaki in bird print clothe mama made Masaki  Naoya had pretty bad rush on his butt, which might be a reason why he was grumpy, not being able to sleep easily. I held him the most of time I stayed at the hospital. It was quiet as the care unit was having less and less babies. It's the end of year & new year but their schedule won't change!

Corrine came over to see babies over window this morning. Both of their breathing was again unstable so we bottle fed them. I put them on the body suit Kevin Beck got us after bathing.  Thank you Uncle Beck! Nurses loved them by the way.

 Emi, Maiya and Koji had sleep over at ours last night. They stayed in futon the next morning, gathered up to watch iPad... Modern kids.

Made big pot of carrot soup which recipe from Barbara mama via Chris. Yum!

Papa attended and Dr. said it was settling down. Good. Papa fed both babies with bottles as they were tired from the check up. Naoya didn't fall asleep at all after the feeding, I tried breast feeding him to calm down, not quite worked but he finally fell asleep after the second bottle feeding. Dr. had ear check up on both while they were sleeping. She said nothing was wrong with their hearing, which is another good news.

 Quiet time  Naoya sleeping Masaki sleeping Both babies tried breast feeding and they're getting better. I could bath them both today! Progress little by little.

 Masaki watching Naoya  Happy twins  Naoya sleeping  Masaki sleeping Naoya sleeping Naoya fell asleep again on breast feeding training and breathing wasn't good so I gave up the training. Masaki did good job though he fell asleep, too, and I stopped feeding him for about 10 min. They finished bottles fine though. I could bath Naoya today but couldn't with Masaki so I asked nurse to bath him. Will try again tomorrow!

Koji & Mo getting along wonderfully.

 Naoya  Masaki sleeping  Naoya sleeping  Naoya sleeping in a hot tub  Masaki  Sleeping Naoya Half eye opened Masaki sleeping When I came in first, Naoya was really hungry so I tried feeding him with breast directly. He fell asleep in a few minutes, though he kind of kept going, and nurse fed him with bottle afterword. Then Masaki started crying hard, I tried breast feeding him, too, though he fell asleep, too, immediately. Then he didn't wake up at all, so I gave up and fed him with bottle. Long way ahead but I'm not worried. Then I bathed both of them, whom fell asleep in a hot tub. How come you guys are so tired? Why don't you sleep after the feeding, not during the feeding...?
