Due Date

Today was our due date - May 12! Addyson and Braden are 10 weeks old today - but really their adjusted ages are zero. Kind of a weird feeling - we knew there was no way we would have made it all the way to the due date but it still is a big landmark for some reason!

The kids had their 2 month shots yesterday and their checkup. They are of course in the less than 1%. They did really well with their shots - lots of initial crying and screaming but the tiredness from the doctor's visit and the Tylenol put them right to sleep and they slept most of the day. When they were awake they were a little cranky but not the 2 screaming, hurting children I had imagined! Braden is growing like crazy and doing great. Addyson isn't gaining as much weight as they'd like so she gets more MCT in her milk and we go back next week for a weight check. We will have to do something more for her if she doesn't gain well again this week so you can pray that she would pack on some pounds! She is eating plenty as far as actual ml's so that's not a concern - it's just not showing weight gain so we'll see what this week brings.

So far there have been no apnea's since the shots. There was a good chance the stress of the shots would make the monitors go off a lot but so far none! And the pediatrician says we'll reevaluate in 2 weeks and see how the kids are doing but we might be able to get rid of the monitors. We are looking forward to that day!

We are so thankful that we are all doing so well - we couldn't have imagined that Addyson and Braden would be so healthy by their due date back in January when the complications first started showing up. God is definitely good!
