Cameron and Katelyn went to Dr. Cook for their 2 weeks check-ups today. Katelyn is doing well and is at 4 lbs. 7 oz. surpassing her birth weight by 2 ounces. Cameron is our best eater but isn't gaining weight. He's almost back up to his birth weight of 4 lbs. 14 oz. The doctor wants us to feed at-will not just every 3 hours and increase the volume. He also has a blocked tear duct in his left eye which we will just put warm compresses on and massage the corner. Savannah had the same thing in the same eye! Cameron has to go back next week for another weight check. The doctor wants him to gain some by the time we go back. Parker is doing well in the NICU. He was taken out of the isolette/incubator and put in a regular open-air crib and is taking all 8 feeds with the bottle. The tube was taken out early this morning, and so far he is maintaining his body temperature and tolerating his feeds. It is possible that he could poop out and tire in a day or so, but so far he's doing marvelous! He may get to come home this week and maybe as early as Thurs. or so. Savannah is doing okay and hanging in there; although mommy is noticing some not-so-great behavior changes and her sleeping at night and for naps continues to be a challenge with her getting up all the time and coming into our room.

What cuties! I saw Savannah at church last night and asked her about the babies. :) I have been praying for Parker and will continue! Let me know if we can do anything for you!!!
Glad everything is going so smoothly... well as smoothly as can be expected. And glad Parker is doing so well and will be coming home so soon! You are doing an awesome job! And yes, the baths and many other things will feel like one big assembly line for quite a while! I hope Miss Savannah adjusts well to the transition.
