Yesterday marked 40 weeks and would have been the babies actual due date had they gone full term. Seeing how big they are now, I realize how much of an impossibility that would have been for Becky.
The nurse came to the house today for their weekly check up and weighed the kiddos.
Kaitlyn - 8lbs 1 oz
Sullivan - 7lbs 8 oz
Kylee - 6lbs
They've all gained a pound in the last week or so! The nurse also said they are doing well developmentally so far and thought they were doing just fine. So, it's nice to know they like it over here with their parents.
Sleep has definitely been a problem though. We are hoping with the increased food intake recommended by the nurse today that they will sleep a tad longer between feedings. Lately it has been every 2 to 3 hours (closer to 2) that they need to be diapered and fed. That's 21 diapers and 21 feedings per day, but who is counting?
We just got a call today from Dr. De Lia and he was hoping we'd go on the Saturday Morning News on WISN with him to interview with Portia Young about the TTTS foundation and a fund raiser that is upcoming for that. Could be the kids first shot at stardom! Maybe if they catch somebody's eye, we'll get them onto a tv show. One of them could be the next Fred Savage. More likely, one or all of them will decide they are hungry at precisely the same time the cameras are turned on and start blowing a gasket. We'll see if we're up to it and if they want us by tomorrow.
That's it for now.
Take care,
Dan
