Everyone is IV and oxygen free at this point, hooray! Ben finally got his IV out a couple days ago, so everyone is taking all their food via nose tube at this point. Everyone has also lost their cords, which is awesome because I was super grossed out by them!
The babies are all getting better at being awake during feedings and are showing good feeding "cues" such as taking a pacifier and chewing on their fingers. We may be able to start trying to work with a bottle next week, which would be very exciting.
Delia has officially overtaken Ben as the biggest, with a weight of 3lb 14 oz. Ben isn't too far behind at 3lb 13 oz, and Michael is growing the fastest at 3lb 10 oz. They'll all be neck and neck in a few days I'm sure.
Another great skill Delia and Michael have picked up is explosive aerodymanic bowel movements. Everywhere. Let's just say I am extremely happy they are still in four sided incubators right now so that things are contained. I think they are having a distance contest and I'm not sure who is ahead right now, but if this keeps up when we get home they will be getting changed in the yard and going naked! I'm hoping that we can outgrow this before it's time to come home :)
