August is almost over!
I haven't updated the website in a really long time, but here's a quick one. The boys are doing FABULOUSLY!! We had our one year check-up and everyone did excellent. Mommy had a hard time with all the shots, but so did the boyos. Here's the break down for the boys' stats:
Max
weight: 26 lbs.(85th %tile)
Height: 28 1/4 inches (25th %tile)
Head: 85th %tile
Gabe:
weight: 20 lbs. (15th %tile)
Height: 27 1/2 inches (5th %tile)
Head: 15th %tile
Ethan
weight: 18 lbs. (5th %tile)
Height: 27 1/2 inches (3rd %tile)
Head: 40th %tile
Dr. Dan said that everyone looked good. We are treating Max for asthma- giving him medication each night has really reduced his wheezing. Again, this is not unheard of for preemies. I think Mike and I were shocked that it was Max running into the asthma issues and not Ethan considering he was the one on the oxygen for so long. Dr. Dan also said that Gabe and Ethan might benefit from going to a dentist b/c of the discoloration of their teeth- just to rule out any decay issues now. I guess it will affect their little toofers when they get older. I was shocked that dentists even saw one year olds. They don't have to go back until the winter- yeah!
Other than that, Mike and I are wrapping up the summer. I am returning to teaching, but not at Waterford Union. I accepted a new position with CESA teaching at an alternative school in hopes that the reduction of paperwork will mean that I will be able to balance things at home better. I am nervous about returning to work... and nervous about leaving the boys. Having spent the last year with them (a true gift I can't even describe) it's going to make being away from them that more difficult.
I have done another photo montage- hope you all enjoy the update!
