Incubators

 These are the incubators my grandbabies are in. The nurses put blankets on top to help keep the light out so as to protect their eyes. The circles on the sides are doors that we put our arms through to cradle the babies in our hands. Inside these incubators its really warm, cozy and quiet. The nurses weigh them each day by picking them up then pushing the weight button, then they lay them back down and the computer in the incubator calculates their weights. They have monitors attached that track their heartbeats per minute, blood oxygen levels and respiration, (breaths per minute). Once in a while they forget to breathe and the monitor beeps and the nurses rush over and massage them a little to get them breathing. They say its normal and they will grow out of it. At first it really scared me, but now Im used to it and dont worry. They are both up to 3 lbs now and the nurse said they are developmentally right where they should be. YAY!!! Im so proud of my little sweethearts already!!!
