Today was my first outing with the kiddoes. My dad and I got all the babies into their carseats and then into the van and drove them down to the doctor's office. We pulled them all out of their seats and put two into a stroller (just a single one with them lying in it) and carried one. I waited in the lobby while dad parked the van. When he came back we went up to the office. Whew!
We did their measurements one at a time. Two of them peed in the scale and two of them complained about being man handled. Guess who didn't? Yup - Evan. He never complains. He doesn't even cry when he has a bath.
Then we went in to see the doctor and he checked them all out. He said they all look really good and seem to be doing well. He assured me that at this age, it was normal for them to sleep all the time, except to wake up to eat. He told us how much they should be eating and we are pretty close to that, so that's good.
Here are some numbers :
All the boys are putting weight on. None are back to their birthweight yet but are getting there.
Dylan's birth weight was 6 lbs and now he is at 5 lbs 11 oz (tenth percentile).
Evan's birth weight was 5 lbs 4 oz and now he is at 5 lbs even (3%)
Liam's birth weight was 4 lbs 14 oz and now he is at 4 lbs 11 oz (not quite on the chart)
We also stopped in at my dr's office so that the nurse and ultrasound tech could see them. Then we headed home to feed them. It was a decent first outing but tiring for me. I need 3 people when we have appointments. Someone to come with me and someone to watch Caden. Should be interesting :).
Ok - I'm going to go lie down now. I'm really really tired and the babies are sleeping while grandpa and Caden watch Madagascar. Later.
