Video of the twins

This is a short video of Pete taking Harper out of the incubator and holding her, and a video of me putting Robbie back in the incubator after kangaroo holding today. Harper's breathing tube was taken out and she is using a smaller version that inserts oxygen in the nose only. She has been doing well on it so far, since 9:30am.....hoping she can stay strong. Notice how Harper seems to fall immediately into a deep sleep when placed on her dad's chest, even though moments earlier she was stretching her arms and legs in the air. Robbie slept soundly in kangaroo care for a few hours, then wakes up when he realizes he's back in the incubator, and suddenly becomes upset, displaying his "stress signs." We have learned that baby stress signs are: hiccups, sneezing, hands up like a stop sign, hands up with splayed fingers and showing a more pale complexion.
