Hi Everyone! Thought I would take a couple of minutes to type a quick post. Things are crazy around here these days. The new house is coming along, but we still have tons of unpacking and fixing up to do. The babies are demanding more attention as is Harry and we are all exhausted from Golda's weekend visits!
Those have been wonderful! We have had her at home the last two weekends. The first weekend was one night (Saturday) and the second on was both nights (Friday and Saturday). This weekend will also be both nights. The good part is that they have switched her feedings from every three hours to every four hours so that should be a little easier this weekend. Also nice is that she is eating 110 ml with every feeding at the rate of 125 ml an hour instead of 80 ml so we are hoping that she will start packing on the weight quicker. She now weighs 10 pounds 3 ounces! We are still waiting for her to reach 15 pounds so they can do the studies to determine how much growth there has been in her esophagus and when they can do the surgery.
Leah weighs 14 pounds 6 ounces and Micah, the brute, weighs 20 pounds 2 ounces! They are both moving around more these days although none of them have learned how to roll yet. They like to stand and sit (Micah can even do it on his own for a while before toppling over). Leah and Micah are eating solid food - Chicken, Broccoli, Carrots, Sweet Potatoes, Green Beans (they don't like them though), Avocado, Pears, Apple Sauce, Bananas. Micah loves his food and eats as fast as he possibly can. Leah will sometimes eat well and other times you have to pry her lips apart to get her to eat. Golda loves feeding time too and will start to wiggle around and smile when you come near her with the feeding tube. And you had better be attaching it for food and not medicine because if you walk away without hooking her up she will yell at you!
Harry is starting to do better in school with his attitude and following his teacher's directions. He is usually finishing his work now and gets to play afterward and doesn't have such a big mouth. That means that he has been getting his stickers for good behavior and has earned another trip on the train with Daddy! He is going to stop taking gymnastics on Saturdays. The school hasn't been as good as it was and he isn't really progressing so we are going to take a break with it for a while. After the summer he will probably start taking karate classes. We are hoping that the classes will help him with his discipline too!
As for me, as many of you know I fell down the stairs in our new house the day of Harry's 6th birthday party. I finally had to give in and go to the podiatrist today because my left foot and ankle is still hurting more than a month later. Well, I am in a boot to immobilize my foot. Thankfully nothing is broken, but I did badly bruise the bone and Achilles tendon. He doesn't want to do cortisone shots into the heel now and won't do any into the tendon (it's dangerous) so he want to try the boot and anti-inflammatories before anything else. I have to call him again in two weeks to follow up. My back is starting to feel marginally better and doesn't interfere with anything else so I will continue to avoid heavy lifting and see how it does ;)
That's about it for now! Remember, baby-sitting (baby feeding, diapering) is always appreciated so we can get some unpacking done!
