As cute as can be at 33 and 3 ...
Three is a magic number! We have thoroughly celebrated it the past several days. Last night Stewart checked in at 3 pounds 9 ounces, Annie at 3 pounds 8 ounces. Last week they tipped the scales past the very low birth weight mark of 1500 grams (3 pounds 5 ounces). Look at this beautiful baby's great big fat leg!
Stewart packs on the pounds, Mar. 7th 1:51 PM
Today Annie and Stewart are 33 weeks and 3 days gestational age. It gets confusing... Five weeks and 3 days since they were born; six more weeks before their due date (April 30th). We will have to be aware of their "adjusted" ages as their development is assessed in the coming months and years. Pediatricians (at least for the first 2 years) will classify their adjusted birth date as April 30th, 2006.
"Yes?" asks Annie Frances, Mar. 11, 11:34 AM
Another blessing is a positive report on their first eye screen. They were at risk for Retinopathy of Prematurity but the initial exam revealed no incidence. They will get another screen in 3 weeks.
A Stewart Burritto all swaddled up in Dad's arms... Mar. 9 9:34 PM
In the coming weeks we look forward to putting on more weight and eventual bottle feeds. Eventually, with more fat and more age, Annie and Stewart will transition out of isolettes and into regular cribs, or crib I should say as we will attempt to co-bed them in the beginning.
Thanks again for checking in and for all the prayers and support.
Love,
Annie, Stewart, Aimee, and Carl
