I did not realize how long it has been since my last post! Time has been flying by here taking care of our crew. The babies have changed drastically since they were first born. All three weighed well over 10 lbs at our three month visit, and we go again next week so I will update again then with their stats.
Our daughter is still dealing with acid reflux and floppy cartilage in her throat, (there is a technical term for it, but I have no idea how to spell it). She has her happy times and her fussy times, and you never know what you are going to get. I think she is training me for when she is a teenager! She is obsessed with Brad, already Daddy's little girl! We are going to see if we can upgrade to a stronger medicine to help her more. I hate when she is uncomfortable and in pain. There are nights that the only thing we can do for her is to sit in the rocking chair with her fuzzy blanket until she calms down. I know how painful reflux was for me when I was pregnant; I hate that she has to deal with that pain. She has not upped the amount she is eating in the past month or two either. She used to be our best eater, but the reflux is affecting that too. She usually takes between 3-4 ounces a feeding, and spits-up sometimes too. She was our first child to smile and is the most vocal one when it comes to cooing. Lately, she has been drooling non-stop, which I have learned is normal for her actual age! She needs to work on tummy time more since she is our most wobbly-headed child though. She doesn't seem to have the muscle strength that the boys do! She does love to "stand" on us though; it is sometimes impossible to burp her because she won't sit long enough.
Both boys are doing well and gaining weight like crazy! Logan has become our heaviest child and he looks like it! In the NICU, both boys preferred to look to their right sides, which their nurse worked on with them. Logan has decided to revert back to that and now has a bigger flat spot of the back of his head on the right side! We have been working on keeping him looking to the left more, so hopefully that'll solve that problem! He is great at lifting his head and keeping it up a long time. We are pretty sure he will be the first one to roll over, and probably pretty soon! This past week he has really started to smile and interact a lot more, as well as coo more.
Sam has also gained weight, but is still our smallest one by a couple ounces. He is our most sensitive one-to noise, gas pain, etc. When he is happy, he is really happy. When he is upset, you will most definitely know about it! He also has been smiling a lot more lately, especially the wide, open smiles! He is also great at holding his head up and likes to stand a lot too. Both boys eat 4-6 ounces a feeding now, which is a lot for their age.
I cannot wait for them to get a bit older and a little more independent. I am looking forward to them grasping things and rolling over soon, hopefully! Last night they slept five and a half hours during the night! I am starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel of lack of sleep! We want to be able to put the boys in their cribs and shut the door for the night-it'll be amazing to sleep again! Lauren will stay in our room because of her reflux and breathing issues for now. Sleep training will begin in a couple months-when they are four months adjusted.
Logan wants out of the swing, so that's it for my update for now. Hopefully I will have some impressive weights to post next week!
