Dr. visits

This morning was CRAZY trying to get the girls ready for the Dr.  Anything before 9:30 is usually a little tricky and our appt was at 9!  I got the girls all fed and dressed and then they were supposed to quick go down for a morning nap so I could get ready and be out the door by 8:45 but yea....Emily spit green vegetables all over her white shirt after I had all the girls dressed so then, because they were wearing matching clothes, I had to change ALL of them! :)  Then they didn't want to take a nap...and yea..it was just a busy morning!  Thankfully Jody came with me to help at the Dr. appt.  The girls are doing great!  They are doing VERY well for being preemies and had great weight gain and everything.  It's so nice that they are now being measured on a "normal" 9 month chart.  Emily and Hailey are 25% for weight and height and head size is 50% .  Then Addison is 50% for weight and height but her head is actually off the charts in size!  Lots of brains for that girl. :)  But actually, since she was a preemie, the Dr. recommended that Addison gets a catscan on her brain because she could have extra fluid or something so we just have to be sure.  The Dr's gut is that she is fine since she seems to be doing well developmentally but because preemies can often have brain "issues," the right thing to do is get it checked out.  So....please pray that it's nothing and that she just happens to have all the smarts in the family. :)  We found out that Emily actually had an ear infection too.  Poor girl.  She has been acting a little more fussy but I thought that was just because she was teething.  She's been doing pretty well considering ....but I decided to let her skip out on her shots today so she'll get them in 2 weeks when she feels better and has to go back for a check up anyways.  Other than that, the girls are doing well and seem to be right on track for being 7 monthers. (even though they are 9 months).  Tomorrow we will find out more when we get their development assessment done at the NICU.  I was bummed to find out that the girls still have to be on the expensive preemie formula (Neosure).  I thought they could get off of that when they turned 9 months old...but I guess it's 9 months CORRECTED age....hopefully they'll start eating more baby food and less bottles in the next couple weeks.  

Anyways - that's the basic update from today.   Now they are all EXHAUSTED and taking a nice long nap. :)  

Yesterday we took the girls in to see Ryan at work.  They had a great time and thought downtown Milwaukee was great! :) So much to see!
