The babies are both doing very well. CJ is definitely the little snuggler, where Savannah is content being left alone. However, we try to spend equal time snuggling each baby as well as Ashley.

Ashley is having a very difficult time adjusting and has regressed a little bit. We are hoping this phase is short lived.

We are getting a little cabin fever since we are only allowed to take the babies out while it is warm. They are not allowed a lot of people, especially other children until they get much stronger and RSV season passes. So it looks like we will be spending a lot of time home since RSV season is not over until April. They will, however, get shots to help prevent getting RSV. These shots are once a month until April comes around.

October will be a busy month for doctor follow up appointments. They have to see the Pulmonologist and Savannah will be having another Eye exam and will be seeing another surgeon for her thumb. For those who don't know, Savannah's thumb turned black when she was about 3 weeks old. The doctors thought she was going to lose her thumb, but one day when we arrived at the hospital we noticed it was no longer black and was pink again. The only problem is its shape and possible functionality. However, the surgeon thinks he may be able to fix it so it is fully functioning and looks normal. It really doesn't look bad at all, but we will take the doctors advice to have a consultation to make sure it will function properly.

Having both babies home as been wonderful. We are still trying to get use to our new sleep schedule or should I say lack of sleep schedule. The babies are on a 3 hour feed cycle. However, by the time you change them and feed them an hour has already passed. So it is more like every two hours. Chuck and I take turns getting up so that we can get a few hours more of sleep. This seems to be working ok for us.

Savannah's monitor has been going off quite a bit the last few days, but we can't really tell if it is sleep apnea or a lead problem. Other than that, they are both doing very well.

On the way to Savannah's eye appointment we had to stop by Morristown Memorial for them to evaluate some frequent activity on her Apnea monitor. Thankfully they all turned out to be false alarms. Then we received even more good news from the Eye Dr. who informed us that her mild ROP is starting to regress. Her next eye appt. won't be for a few more months.

CJ is also doing very well.

We are still getting use to having two little ones at home. Great Aunt Sue has been with us since the babies came home from the hospital, but unfortunately she has to leave tomorrow. We have been very lucky to have her with us, but now Chuck and I will have to get into some type of routine. The nights wouldn't be so bad if Savannah's monitor stopped going off every few minutes. Thankfully it is not going off because she stops breathing, but for her leads coming off when she wiggles in the crib. Chuck is in the process of sticking the leads on himself with medical tape to see if it will hurt her when the tape needs to come off. ( this is our solution for getting the leads to stick) It is actually a really funny visual with the leads on Chuck with a lot of tape. We are realllly hoping this works. Both the babies are doing very well and seemed to have adjusted to their new environment. They are both on the same 3 hour schedule for feedings.

Savannah has a eye appt. on Tuesday and we are hoping that the ROP has not progressed.
