One Month Well Visit

Kyle and Emily had their one month visit today. They both are doing well. Emily is 5 lbs 9 oz and 19 inches long. Kyle is 7 lbs 5 oz and 20 inches long. They are both behind where they should be for their actual age, but Kyle is a little above average and Emily is a little below average for their adjusted age (their age if they would have been born on their due date). They both also got their second hep b shot - and as a result, they have been crabby all afternoon. Here's a video of them wide awake and squirming around while we were waiting for the doctor.

In other news, Brent got another delivery job. This is good form the money side of things, but it's going to be rough on me. Yesterday I was home by myself with the babies from 10:30 am to 7:30 pm. Today, it's been from 10:30 am and Brent called a bit again and said he would be home around 11:00 pm. tomorrow will probably something similar. Please keep us in prayer as we adjust to this new schedule.

Kyle and Emily get to meet Grandma Eubank and Aunt Alyssa on Saturday! And they will be here until Wednesday. I am very much looking forward to having help for a couple days :)

Mommy's Boy, Grunting Girl, and Real Clothes

Kyle is a mommy's boy for sure! When he gets upset or scared, he wants me and only me! Hopefully it's just a phase and that he will end up like Emily and like everyone :) Emily grunts and grunts and grunts. She grunts when she's away. She grunts when she's sleeping. She grunts when she's pooping. She grunts! Both babies are doing well and continuing to grow. Kyle is now filling out the new born clothes that were baggy on him and is starting to fit into more of the larger newborn clothes that were WAY too big before. Emily still fits into a couple of her preemie outfits, but she is mostly wearing the smaller newborn clothes now. They still are too big, but she's getting to be too long for the preemies! Today Kyle and Emily wore real clothes to church (not jammies). They looked so grown up and cute :0

Due Date and Doctor's Appointment

Today was my due date! And Kyle and Emily will be 4 weeks old tomorrow :) We also had Kyle's follow up appointment today with the cardiologist to check on his heart murmur (a hole in his heart). He had an ultrasound of his heart and an EKG. It was cool seeing his heart on the ultrasound - and not having him in my belly :) He was also weighed and measured - the little dude is now 6 lbs 8.5 oz and is 21 1/2 inches long! The doctor said that the hole is about 3mm long, which is a moderate size. It is located between the two lower chambers of his heart (which we already knew). He said it's about the same as it was when he saw Kyle in the hospital. He said now we know for sure that the murmur is below his aortic valve, which is a good thing. The doctor is pretty sure that it will still correct itself, and even if it doesn't, he said Kyle most likely will have not any problems or limitations because of the murmur. His recommendation is to have it checked every couple months until Kyle is 2 years old. Emily was a good little girl and slept the whole time we were at Kyle appointment :) Afterwards, we met Brent and took the babies to the park. They really didn't seem to care that they were outside. Kyle slept until we was hungery. Emily ate and then slept.
