Four Weeks Old :: When are they coming home???

Sophia and Ethan are 31 days old now and we're all wondering when they may come home. Developmentally, the only hurdle remaining for them is to master bottle feeding. It is tough for them to coordinate sucking, swallowing and breathing when they're eating - they're working on building their stamina.

As soon as the twins can bottle feed at all 6 of their daily feedings they'll be ready to come home. In the past 24 hours, Ethan managed to do 3 out of six bottles, and Sophia has done 2 out of 6. So we're getting closer, and are hoping that the babies will master what they need to do within the next week or so, although it could take 2 weeks or more... While we hope it will be soon, we just don't know...

Some 1-month-old pictures:
