Caught on camera...one of Connor's first real smiles!
It is one of our first developmental milestones and he is at least 2 weeks ahead by his corrected age. His corrected age is one month and smiles are at 6 weeks. We are so proud. Logan does little smiles, but not as reactive as Connor. He just lights up! Logan is getting there, though.
We went to aunt Diana's yesterday and she weighed both boys.
Logan: 7lb 7oz
Connor 8lb 13 oz
Just a week ago, there was 1lb 9oz difference in thier weights and now just 1lb 6 oz. This means Logan is finally beefing up and hopefully closing the gap.
We have some upcoming follow-up consults. This Friday,5/19, Logan has a follow-up appointment to rule out retinopathy of prematurity (ROP). His retinas were immature at the last visit in the NICU. On Monday5/22 , Connor has a repeat echocardiogram and follow-up with Dr Ghazali, the peds cardiologist. He is going to check on the status of Connor's VSD's and branch pulmonary stenosis. All seems well there since the pediatrician could not hear a murmur anymore on Connor. On Tuesday, 5/23, the boys have thier 4 month check-up and (gulp) round 2 of immunizations. 4 months!!!!! I cant believe it!!
Milestones:
Both boys turn thier heads to hear a voice, when laying on thier belly's lift thier head up and turn it from side to side, track objects with thier eyes, gaze at the person feeding them, and smile. They are either right on or a smidge ahead for thier corrected age. Yay boys!!!!!!!!
By the way- we will refer a lot to corrected age vs. chronilogical age. To get corrected age, you subtract from the chronilogical age the # of weeks premature. This concludes todays math lesson!
