34 Weeks


The twins are 34 weeks developmentally today! As I mentioned yesterday, they started bottle feeding- neither one is really sure how it works, but both are eager to try it out, and right now, that’s all we can ask. When I came in this morning the nurse told me the occupational therapist was going to come by today and take a look at the kids, watch Jack eat his bottle, and give an overall assessment.  Here are some notes:

Jack:
-took about 3 ml of his bottle
-would latch on to his bottle, but wasn’t quite sure what to do next
-has good tone and head control
-we learned a little bit of baby massage to get his GI tract going
-he looked good overall, nothing alarming

Harper:
-didn’t try a bottle with the therapist, so no observation there
-needs to work on flection, so now has baby crunches to do every day
-worked on baby massage for neck stiffness
-she looked good overall, nothing alarming.

Oh, one more thing to brag on Miss Harper today- she did not have a Brady today while her dad was holding her (something that she hasn’t been able to accomplish since she moved to a low flow cannula). Way to go Harper, keep it up!

Picture of the day goes to Jack in his new pjs from his Great Granny Simpson- Thank you, Great Granny
