Going Up

Babies are gaining weight. Well, Keaton hasn't had a weight issue since the beginning, but McKenna is finally gaining weight too.

Keaton weighed 8 lb 5 oz today. Almost three months old makes him seem small, but really he is just 18 days old corrected age, so that's great. He hasn't rolled over again or really done much as far as milestones go lately. He has improved on eye locking though. He will look at you and make eye contact for longer periods of time finally. And he is more responsive to sweet voices lately too. He lovvvves Grandma Deb's voice and just stares at her.

McKenna is up to 5 lb 13 oz. We are thrilled about the 8 oz increase this week, although she was just weighed after a feeding, but that would mean she still would have gained at least 6 oz. She looks bigger to us too. She enjoys staring at Keaton as he fusses and looking at herself in the baby mirror. So cute. She has kind of decreased on her feedings yesterday and today and seems really tired. This has been a sign of a need for transfusion in the past. Hoping she has just been overstimulated with all that is going on and that she will be more energetic and have her appetite back tomorrow.

McKenna had her blood drawn and we will hopefully find out in a few days if she is still losing blood and if she needs a transfusion or is starting to produce blood on her own.

We will keep you posted with what we find out, but thanks for the prayers on her feedings and weight gains!!!
