We went up to MUSC for the NNICU and Level 2 graduates reunion Saturday to see some friendly faces. It was our second non-appointment outing, and it was a success!!!
Anytime we go out we put sunglasses on because none of them like the sun in their faces. So they are extra cool in their shades. I recently had to get new sunglasses because their heads are so big they outgrew the other ones!Speaking of big heads...we went back to MUSC for a developmental check up at the high risk clinic. Everyone is doing well, and right on track being around 5.5-6 months developmentally. Their motor skills are around 5-6, but their fine motor skills are lagging behind at 4.5 months. So we're starting occupational therapy. The weights at that appointment are...
Aiden -- 18.14lbs
Maxwell -- 17.8 lbs
Alexis -- 15.3lbs
Carolyn 14.0lbs
Instead of being in the 90th percentile for their heads they are now in the 95th percentile. Max and Aiden went down in their calories from 24 to 20 calories. Carolyn and Alexis are both on 27 calories. Alexis went up, but Carolyn stayed the same. Also while we were there we got to see some nurses that we missed seeing Saturday. It was all in all a great appointment.
We've changed their feeding a tiny bit since the last time I posted. Now they're eating baby food at the noon feeding as well as at the 4:30 feeding. We try to get them to eat all of the veggies before moving on to the fruit, but sometimes they just aren't fans of whatever veggie we have planned. None of them really care of peas so after it is gone we'll just eliminate that out of the menu. Sometimes they tolerate them if they are warm, but usually it's the ewww face and a few gags. They are staying awake a little more after the 4:30 feeding which is good because they seem to sleep better at night after not taking a nap, but sometimes they just need a little nap. More times than not though they'd rather play than nap.
