Happy Three Week Birthday!

Just wishing the babies a Happy Three Week Birthday today!

Jacob is growing and growing. We took him to the doctor yesterday and he weighed 6 pounds 3 ounces!!! That is what Carter weighed when he was born! So he is catching up to big brother! We think he has some reflux issues. We now have some medication and hopefully it will help him.

Carter has also gained some weight. He is now 6 pounds 9 ounces. He needs to eat more if he wants to stay bigger than his little brother!! He is doing well. They are reducing his amount of phenobarbitol and so far everything is going well. He still isn't swallowing so there really is no way to feed him a bottle which is his next big goal. He has started to show a sucking reflex but it is weak. He had speech therapy every day this week and I think he has improved.

He unfortunately didn't pass his hearing test so he will need to be re-tested at some point. The nurses tried to assure us that it might be nothing and not to worry too much right now.

He is still doing lots of occupational therapy and we have met with the therapist to show us what we can be doing while we visit. The therapy sessions are fun because it gets him out of the crib and usually he is wide awake!

In general the boys are doing great and we are just hoping for the whole family to be together soon!!!
