I took B & K in for their NICU developmental assessment this morning. Everything checks out fine. . . they are right where they should be according to their "corrected age" in some areas and ahead (closer to their actual age) in other areas. We are supposed to bring them back again in three months (which is October . . . doesn't that seem farther off than that?!?).
In other news, I took them back to the pedi this afternoon because they both sound like they have been smoking 15 packs of cigarettes a day . . . their coughs have gotten worse. Good news is the cough is nothing -- just all the crud in their sinuses breaking up (their chests are both clear). Bad news is they both have ear infections on the same side (weird, I know). So they are on the same round of meds as Mommy. Fun. Bennett seemed to gobble down the pink liquid tonight, Miss Diva was not so much into it. Hopefully we have better luck tomorrow. Ironic note (I found this to be hilarious) -- one of the warnings on the side of the bottle is that the drug may interfere with the effectiveness of certain birth control pills. Seems real appropriate to put on a bottle of medicine mixed up for a FIVE MONTH OLD! :-)
Let's see, what else . . . they are both so into holding their own bottles lately. Well, they can't actually keep them up, but they are both grasping them as if they were strong enough to hold them. Too cute. Kendyll still loves to stand, not sit and Bennett is Mr. Personality -- he is all about full on laughing at everything. They have both mastered sleeping without their swaddle blankets, but that has required me to invest in a few new sleepers as they have outgrown all of their 0-3 month sleepers (they were just sleeping in onsies when we were doing the burrito wraps).
Tim leaves for Chi-town tomorrow, so we'll be on our own until Friday night. It is supposed to get hot, hot, hot here over the next few days. Yuck!!
