What is this????? Daddy was having fun adding water to Katelyn's hair and sticking it up! Poor thing! Talk about a bad hair day!!!I can't believe the babies are 3 months old already! We went back to Dr. Cook this morning for weight checks and reflux checks! Overall the doctor is okay with everything but not totally satisfied. The reflux and excessive spit-up has hindered their growth. I really think the new meds--Prevacid and Bethanacol are helping, but they have only been on them for 10 days. So, the plan is to continue on them for the next month and increase the Bethanacol a little bit and see if we can get the babies to eat more without spitting up. Currently they usually feed 5 times a day at 5 ounces per feeding or more or less depending on each babies' capability at the time. He said term babies at this point usually eat 28-32 ounces per day, and the triplets are taking in about 24-26 ounces per day currently, so we're not far off. Today, Cameron weighed 9 1/2 lbs., Parker was 9 lbs., and Katelyn was 8 1/2 lbs. Cameron is still the longest, with Parker not far behind, and Katelyn right behind him. They are all in the 0% tile for everything with the exception of Parker's head at 15 1/4 inches which is in the 4th %tile--maybe he is a "Pederson" after all!!!!! We are hoping that the medication will get the reflux under control to allow the babies to bulk up this next month and gain more weight. If not, Dr. Cook is going to refer us to a Pediatric GI doctor next visit.
