Eating and Growing

As of last night, here are the stats on the kids:

Matthew 4lbs 11.4 oz 16 6/8 inches long

Andrew 4lbs 15.4 oz 17 3/8 inches long

Anna Kate 3lbs 10.6 oz 16 1/2 inches long

Matthew is in a crib and is taking a bottle twice a day (soon to be three times. The nurse said he woke up screaming for his 9:00 feeding. He may be the one that keeps me on a schedule!

Andrew is progressing on his feeds. Although it is not "official" he has taken a bottle on three different occasions and done well. He did well after the tap last week, but his head circumference has gone up again. So, we will be meeting with the neurosurgeon the first part of the week to see about the possibility of a procedure before the shunt surgery. Andrew is hanging in there and is alert and seems to be happy.

Anna Kate is getting every other feeding by bottle. Because she is still small and is on higher calories, she is still in her incubator. When she is awake, she is very interested in what is going on around her.

Thanks for the updates. Sounds good. Can't wait to see and hold them. Lord willing, we will be up there a week from this Wed. Any new pictures? Give them all hugs and kisses for us. Love and prayers, Brenda
