The girls are sound asleep, so I'm going to attempt a nap :) A quick update: we had our doctors appointment Tuesday and the girls were so good. We're going to keep an eye on Mady's hernia and the doctor is going to talk to the neonatologist to double check that we don't want to follow up with a neurologist about Mady's cysts. We talked about RSV and basically no one can hold the girls outside of our immediate family and close friends until summer. That unfortunately includes our nieces and nephews :( The girls will get to meet their cousin when he is born in February but won't be able to hang out with him after he enters daycare while the RSV and rotovirus seasons are here. It's the only way to truly keep them safe. We take them back on Monday to make sure they are increasing their weights and then their opthamology appt is Friday. They may have an early stage of ROP (retinopathy of prematurity), which is a condition in which the small blood vessels in the eye grow abnormally. ROP usually only occurs in babies who are born very early, at 32 weeks of pregnancy or earlier. By keeping an eye on them now, they can help prevent vision problems.
All is good here! The girls seem to love being home and are doing really well. We have an occasional choke or cough during feeding, but they seem to come right out of it after a good pat on the back. Christian has had to work all week but will be taking time off to hang out with us at home starting tomorrow.
I'll post some new pics soon!
