2 weeks old!!!

So our sweet girls our 2 weeks old today and boy are they doing great!!! I mean GREAT! These girls remind us everyday of God's great goodness b/c they are just amazing! They are totally on bottles, feeding tubes have been out since this past weekend and haven't had to be put back in. They are eating every 3 hours around the clock and they may even start going to every 4 hours soon b/c they are eating so much! Ava can eat 60 cc's at a feeding (2 oz) and Olivia is up to 40 cc's! For these little angels that is amazing!
They continue to have no other problems whatsoever. No trouble breathing or doing anything! They are opening their eyes soo much more now too! They have starting smiling so much! They are just precious!
We are really loving getting involved at night. We take their temp, change them, swaddle them, feed them, burp them, and then cuddle!! We have to wait to cuddle until after they eat b/c if we try and cuddle during feedings they tend to not eat.. They like to be cuddled!!! I am finally allowed to drive since it's been 2 weeks since the section so I am going to be up there while Lexie is in school and do some daytime feedings! Oh and their fabulous weights as of today are Ava Grace 4 lbs and 2 ounces and Olivia Joy 3 lbs and 6 ounces!!
We are so proud of these girls and are so excited about how well they are doing and can't wait to get them home soon!!
