These babies are amazing. It's hard to believe they are preemies. Medically, their so - called "corrected age" is 4 days now (rather than almost 6 weeks), and they are right up there with full term 6 week old singletons as far as their milestones already. They are holding their heads up well and are becoming very interactive and are a lot more alert. They have great appetites too. They haven't had a weigh in in about 2 weeks now, but at the last one, our pediatrician said that their weight gain is excellent and that he is very pleased. Yay babies! We are aware of the art of sleeping when the babies sleep, but we just aren't too good at that, so we're pretty sleep deprived (Feedings every 3 hours will do that to you!), but we're hanging in there. I think that around the time they start sleeping through the night is about the time we figure out that trick!
Good thing we don't need a lot of sleep!
P.S.. It makes me very happy, after seeing the latest issue of People magazine, to know that my twins are cuter than J Lo's, and I have another phrase to add to the list of things that I never thought I'd say: "You don't use beans in a napkin fight".
Incubator out.
