We finally held both boys at the same time. I held Riley while Ian held Addison. They might not have known that they were sitting next to their brother but t felt darn good to not have to choose which baby to hold. We held them for their feedings and then for a little bit after they were finished eating.

Riley is now being weighed daily since he's off the cpap and it's much easier to weigh him. He was weighed this morning and weighs 1lb. 15.5oz. So, close to 2 pounds! He's still doing well on the 4 litres of high flow and not having any apnea or brady episodes.
Addison is still on the +4 cpap and handling it fairly well. He is having 2-4 episodes per day but it's not enough that the doctors are talking about giving caffeine. He loved being held by Daddy today. It was the first time Ian has held Addison. He rocked him and Addison's oxygen saturation was in the high 90's.
Tomorrow they get a full round of labwork done. No heel pricking for this one. They get a needle to have the blood drawn. Addison is bordering on low hemacrit so we're hoping that it's not dropping too much more because then he'll need another blood transfusion.
