January 12, 2009. Calla and Carter are TWO weeks old! We could not believe how fast the time was flying! They were still in the NICU at this time but doing well. Carter was taking all feedings by mouth and doing well. Before a baby can go home from the NICU they have to pass a car seat test. This is were they put the baby in the car seat for 30 minute and watch the monitors to make sure that they breath properly. Carter did not pass. His oxygen level dropped and he turned a funny color. Thank God we weren't there to see it! They said they would try again in a few days. We still believe that it was because he did not want to leave his sister behind all by herself. Calla was not ready for her test yet. She was only taking 3 out of 4 feeding by mouth and that was a struggle. The babies already had such a bond; if one was fussy all the nurses had to do was face them toward each other and they calmed down. So sweet!
