Chunky Monkeys

The girls got their 2nd synergy (RSV) shot yesterday and did really well. Taylor was a little cranky so I had to sleep with her last night – but Kat and Lee Lee were rock stars! We did give them Tylenol as a preventative type thing and it worked really well. Thank you Nani for the suggestion!
They were also weighed and measured again and they have grown quite a bit!
Kaitlyn is now 7lbs 15oz and 18 3/4 inches
Leigha is now 7lbs 5oz and 17 inches long and
Taylor is now 6lbs 3oz and 18 3/4 inches long!
Can you believe Kat is almost 8lbs now? She’s a little chunky monkey!!! They are right on track for their weight gain - the nurse said they like them to triple their weight in the first 3 -6 months and they are all either over or right at that number!

They also were re-tested to see if they could be taken off of their oxygen. Kat passed the room air test and will be tested for an extended time next week. If she passes – she will be off of the O2 then! Yippee! Taylor and Leigha still need it for a little while longer - but all in all they are doing awesome!!
They are still only sleeping about 4 hours a stretch so we are definitely hurting on the sleep scale but as everyone keeps telling me - it won't last forever! LOL
They also have been released to daycare so they will start at the child development center at the end of April!
