Boys are Growing Like Weeds!

Parker went for his first visit to Dr. Cook this morning and passed with flying colors. He came home last Thurs. 4 lbs. 3 oz. and weighed 4 lbs. 11 oz. today. He's taking in 70cc per feeding or more and doing great! He is a little congested, so the doctor has advised us to put in Little Noses saline drops 3-4 times per day and then use the bulb syringe. His circumcision is also healing perfectly! Cameron went back also this morning for a weight check and was up from 4 lbs. 13 oz. to 5 lbs. 13 oz. Wow! He is also congested, so we're doing the same thing for him and also continuing to massage his left eye with a warm rag and added eye drops today for 4-5 days for his blocked tear duct. He will be circumcised by Dr. Strand, Pediatric Urologist, in May--long story! All 3 babies will go back in 2 weeks for the first Hep B shot an 1 mo. check-ups. It is still crazy around here, and I'm still so thankful for my help. My parents have taken over the night feedings the past 2 nights, so I've actually gotten some sleep! It's been wonderful! We will try to get some family pictures taken soon!

I'm so glad for the update! Good for the boys for growing so much!

Dr. Strand did Eli's surgery last fall (the hernia plus fixed the circumcision...) and he did an awesome job! I hope we don't have to see him again but we thought he and his staff did a great job!
