Update




I know it has been a while since we updated everyone, but as you can imagine things have been a little busy. On January 16th Emily and Michael had their 4 month check up. Emily was 9 pounds,15 ounces and 22 inches long. She is in the 95% in everything on the preemie chart. Michael was 9 pounds, 9 ounces and 21 inches long. He is in the 90% in weight and 95% in length and head. I am sure they have each gained a pound and half since their appointment.




Emily went to the cardiologist on January 20th. Her PDA has closed but they are still watching her atrial septal defect. The doctor is confident it will close on its on though. Michael went to the urologist and will have day surgery on May 13th.




The doctors appointments are finally slowing down. The babies are still being seen by a few specialists but we don't have to go as often any more. Their adjusted age is still only 8 weeks so they are behaving like 8 week olds and keeping us very busy. We should be able to get out and about by the end of March. Thank you for yuor continued thoughts and prayers!

WOW, they are beautiful! I cannot wait to cuddle those two...but I will wait until they are good and healthy. I'll admit, I'm covered in a lot of germs!!
By the way, I had a great time shopping Strasburg Children last week and thought of your twins. They had SO much cute matching stuff on 50% off! I bought Cade & Kenslea's coordinating outfits for Christmas next year!! Go check them out.
