Thanks all! we are very hopefull at this point.
at the last checkup, the smaller twin was catching up with the larger one in size. (getting better, as oposed to getting worse) so even though the doctor hasn't said that 'we are out of the woods', I'm guessing that it went from a target number 24 to a target number 6 for survival.

and that's a good thing.

Well, yeah. That's a pretty big reduction, even if the new T# is 6.

Good luck on the process.

yup. just passed 31 weeks.

they are doing really well at this point. the size difference is getting less and less every checkup.

last I recall, they were at 3lbs and change each. if they can stay in long enough to get to 5lbs each, they'll probibly come home with us from the hospital.

my wife is more hoping that they'll just stay in long enough to reach the baby-shower next weekend, because she wants some more cute outfits. LOL

WOW, even for me, that is a really bad type-o. That should say "painted the right colors." Damn, I really need to go back to 9th grade typing.

Excellent!  Here's wishing you 5lbs 7oz and 5 lbs 5 oz spawn :D Hope you get lots of bibs and blurb cloths too.  My nephew really went for range on that old blurp canon - he was a formula kid and was probably trying to get back at his mom  ;)

You know, I wonder if being breast fed really makes a difference in development. Hmmmm....

If I remember correctly, a baby gets some immunities through breast milk (Can't remember if it's permanent or not).

For the first six months of postnatal development, the baby's thymus is stimulated by secretions in thier mother's breast milk. This allows the mother to pass along whatever immunities that she has developed on her own, giving her child an even greater chance of survival.

After about six months, the secretions stop, and breast milk is about the same as formula. So there's no need to breast feed the kid until he's sixteen in the hope he becomes a super hero or something. (more likely than not, if you breast feed him until he's sixteen, he's going to be one of those creepy kids who always quotes Nine Inch Nails lyrics under his breath when people give him crap for being such a weirdo)
