5 week checkup

Owen is 7 lbs 13 oz!
Lyla is 6 lbs 7 oz!
Noah is 6 lbs 4 oz!

They have all gained, especially Mr. Owen! He's huge, compared to the other two! He feels it too! All is going well, Owen is on the growth spectrum, in the 5th percentile, and Lyla and Noah are still below. Which for premies, and because technically they still shouldn't be born yet, is totally normal!

Noah has been having a rough time with his tummy. He's been spitting up a lot, and showing signs of discomfort. So he's been on Acid Reflux meds, similar to Zantax. Those didn't really help much, so the Dr. put him on another medication that will help to empty his stomach. He usually has Huge spit ups 2hrs or more after he takes a bottle, this shouldn't be happening because his stomach should be empty by then! So this medication should help. (It's been 2.5 days and it really seems to be helping a lot!!)

Emmalee also had her 2 year checkup. She's 28 lbs 4 oz and 32 inches tall! She is beyond advanced with her verbal skills, as anyone who knows her could imagine! She's growing and healthy! She did have to have bloodwork done for lead screening and cholesterol. This was not fun for poor Emmalee. The first poke was unsuccessful and so she had to be poked again in the other arm. She was a trooper! I treated her to McD's after, so I think that helped ease the pain a teeny bit!

My mom is only with me for one more week! I'm a little anxious about it, but I think everything will be good. My sister is coming the following week and then Andy will be home on vacation the week after that. So it's really 3 more weeks til I'll be "ALONE" with 4 kids under 3! I CAN DO THIS! :)

I have their announcements and have been handing them to people we've seen, the rest will be sent out soon, once I can get stamps!
