This is Ryan Robert. He was Baby A in the womb and was born first at 1:58pm. He weighed 4 pounds 4 ounces and is 17.25 inches long.
Both babies are really doing well. They didn't require any oxygen and have been breathing on their own since birth. Their sucking reflex is formed, but they have feeding tubes (those tubes you see going in their noses) to help them with eating. They take some of their food through the tube and some through a bottle. They are in incubators now to help regulate their temperatures, but hopefully they will be out of those in a week or so.
We can hold them twice a day and help feed them. Too much holding is over-stimulating, so they sleep a lot inside the dark incubators for them to feel like they are still in the womb.
It's amazing how fully formed they look. They are little, but all of their features and are so perfectly formed.
They resemble each other, but at this point, they don't really look alike. Ryan has much darker hair. Spencer looks more like Eli did at birth. It will be interesting to see how that changes as their looks change.
Welcome to the world sweet boys. We love you both so much!
