Introducing.....

Both girls are doing great!  They are both off of their CPAP and will start eating today.  Their bilirubin is a little high which is why they are so pink.  Their levels are just high enough that Duke is playing it safe and giving them their first and hopefully last "tanning" bed experiences.  Actually the UV is just outside of the UVA/UVB spectrum.  They will be under these for a day or so.  While under them we can only hold them for short periods because they want to get the bilirubin levels down.

Now on to introductions.

The little girl formerly known as calm "Baby A" while in utero, later known as "Baby B" after birth and coming in at svelte 2lbs 14oz. Alana Belle Schneider (first name is from Old German meaning "precious;awakening" and sounds great with Belle it's pronounced ah-LAH-nah)





The sister known as the active night owl "Baby B" while in utero, later taking on the "Baby A" title after birth and coming in at slightly more plump 3lbs 7oz. Kira Ann Schneider (first name has a Greek Origin and the meaning of "Lord" pronounced KEER-ah)

That is exactly what I thought she sounded like too.
