3 months old!









Emma Grace and Olivia Michelle are 3 months old today! Wow! How time flies and yet it seems like forever. I know that sounds crazy and contradicting but it is true. And still they are both not quite the weight of a newborn.
Emma has been doing o.k. with her feeds but seems to be having a little trouble and ends up bradying. So they are concerned that she is aspirating milk into her lungs. So this morning she had a feeding therapist come and watch her eat to see what she thought. They decided to do a cookie swallow test. Where do they come up with these names? : ) What they do is feed her and while they are feeding her, they take x-rays to see if any milk is going down into her lungs. If it is, there are some things they can do - like thicken her milk with rice cereal. If it isn't, then we just give her more time to grow and practice drinking. Hopefully I'll find out the results in the next hour. She is still at 1/4 oxygen so that is good.
Olivia had a great night last night. Nope - still don't know what I'm doing differently. But I'll try to keep it up. : )
I was pumping today and looked over....Loren had stood up out of her highchair and was sitting Indian style on the TRAY!!!! Are you kidding me? What are these people trying to do to me. So the highchair is no longer a form of containment.
Alyssa and Loren found these ladybug outfits in the closet and decided to wear them. Very cute!
Loren has started taking off her shirt by herself. That is her in the picture climbing on the table AGAIN!!!!
Here are some pictures - Enjoy!!
Love,
Bethany
