Saturday Visitation

We couldn't get up there to see you on Friday due to the bad weather. I did arrive Saturday around 10:30 with gravy and sausage biscuits for your mom and dad. Your Koenig grandparents were already there waiting to see you.

Dad took them up to visit while mom pumped trying to get you breast milk for your sensitive little stomachs. Not much happened. Mom's blood pressure spiked very high so she was put to bed.

Soon the Trenary grandparents came and we went up to visit after the Koenig's were finished. This time dad was feeding Sarah and Mom had Luke. Luke was going slow eating in the beginning but he sped up when Nana sat down with him. He would nurse and then rest, nurse and then rest. He also gave us a great burp.

We had no idea that we were over stimulating you but we found out later that we did. Everyone was so anxious to see and hold you that we over did it.

After everyone left Kelley Payne, Dad and I went up to visit with you. Dad got to change Jakes dirty diaper and in the middle of the change Jake decided he wasn't finished. Dad looked at the nurse and said, "now what do I do". She gently showed him how to wait while covering you in case you decided to give everyone a shower then start the diaper procedure over again.

I was holding Sarah until it was Kelleys turn and I went over to hold Luke. Luke just slept while he was given his feeding tube just like Sarah did. Sarah did manage to give us some smiles while she was asleep and eating. Luke likes to suck after his first bottle of the day he wanted more and we gave him his pacifier and he took it like a champ.

Time was up so we headed back down to check on your mom. She was sitting up in the bed and did not take a much needed nap. I think we were over stimulating her too. Later I found out your Koenig grandparents came back up and held you even more.

We just over did it. Forgetting that you were preemie and not use to the real world yet you started sliding backwards. Spitting up your food, losing weight and not keeping your body temperature stabilized. When mom did get up to hold you they would not let them due to the over stimulation from the day. She was very sad to go a day without holding her babies.

We are all so sorry little ones. We did not know how weak you are now. You look so perfect and healthy.

Love Nana
