Dr. Update

Hi all,

Things are going really well here. We are on and off again awake, exhausted, tired, etc....but Will has been absolutely amazing. He really allows me to get a little sleep when needed in the evenings.

We came back from the doctors and wow - the babies are growing. The boys are now 10 lbs (Nathan is now 3/4 oz bigger than his brother) and Emily is 8 lbs 6 oz. She feels like NOTHING compared to them. They will be 3 months next week (2/7) and are almost a month past their due date. It's really neat to see them focus on us and on objects. They all roll from their tummies to their back - but usually when they are restless or not happy.

The doctor is really pleased with their growth. We are now working on increasing their feeding and sleeping times. They now do a good 4 hour period in the middle of the night, but we would like to increase that to 6 (or 10 in my ideal world). They are still in the same crib, and it is so cute. We put them apart, but when we check on them, they are all cuddled together (sometimes sideways)....I will hate when we have to separate them.

With Veroniuq here, we are now under as much of a schedule as we will ever be. We would love visitors but we are not allowed children visitors until April (as per the doctors orders - due to the RSV risk). We consider children 12 and under.

Feel free to write comments and leave feedback. Rachel gave good feedback, telling me to label the children...so on the post below - Emily is obviously first, Daniel is second, and Nathan is third!

So glad the kids are growing and doing well! Thanks for the updates and keep those pictures coming (for those of us with young kids who can't come visit quite yet). :)

10 pounds!!! That is huge! and 4 hours is very respectable for a 3 month old for sleep, you guys have things totally under control! I can't wait to get my hands on them again!
