Remember my sweet twin friends, James and Ada? Well, Ada finally made it out of the NICU to be home with her brother! These photos were from our last session together, when she was 3 and a half months old. She just had to show off her Christmas outfit! She is such a sweet babe!
27 Week Preemie Twin Ada Smiling in Christmas Outfit
Here is an update from Ada's mom:
"Ada came home on January 2 (after 110 days in the NICU) weighing 5 pounds 13 oz. She now weighs 6 pounds 8 oz. She came home on a small amount of oxygen. She is becoming a better eater, taking bottles more quickly and efficiently. She is enjoying lots of naps since being home in a calmer environment. She loves being snuggled and talked to and will stare at your face the entire time you are speaking. She can lift her head a little and turn it when you hold her on your chest. She also loves to grasp your finger or objects placed in her hand. She sleeps fairly well through the night between feedings but is an early bird who loves to wake up around 6 am.
James came home November 23 (after 70 days in the NICU) weighing 5 pounds 12 oz. He now weighs 11 pounds 1 oz! He is changing so much every day. He is starting to look at you when you speak to him. He smiles socially, and he can lift his head and turn it during tummy time. He is starting to make "baby sounds" such as cooing when he is talked to. He is fascinated by high contrasts in color which means that our dark colored ceiling fan mesmerizes him. He sleeps extremely well from one feeding to the next during the night."
I am so excited to watch both of these preemies grow strong and develop personalities. These parents are so sweet and I have truly enjoyed getting to know them!
