Sorry it's been so long since I posted an update! I think most see pictures and little updates on Facebook but I don't post that much. The girls are doing amazing! They have continued to grow (well duh right ;), are eating about 4oz at a time. They nurse occasionally but most of the time get pumped milk in a bottle. They are doing their best to catch up to the stock pile of breast milk I managed to reserve in the deep freeze & it's getting low ;(. Luca wasn't on her oxygen very long once home, maybe a couple weeks or so. At their 4 month check up (5/7) the were: Luca ~ 11 lbs, 2oz (50-75th %), 22 1/4" (50th %) & Finley ~ 11lbs, 14oz (75-90th %), 22" (50th %). The % is based on their gestational age of 2 months not their actual age. Finley even registered on the charts for a 4 month old for weight & was in the 5th-10th %.
They love to swing, lay on their playmats-on their back, they don't like tummy time unless it's on mine or daddy's chest. They do well in their Bumbo's but love to be held most of all. They continue to sleep in their Rock n Plays at night. They still get up every 3 hours to eat but Bryan & I take shifts so we both get a goo chunk of sleep. They started smiling like crazy within the past couple weeks & are beginning to coo. They look just like their biggest sister Ani, so precious!
We have been getting out a lot more lately since RSV season is over & they aren't so little & susceptible to getting sick. We are getting into a routine with taking Ani to school, grocery shopping, naps & the gym (for mummy's sanity). We can tell them apart, thank goodness! Luca has a swirl in the front of her hair & Finley has some 'angel kisses' or 'stork bites' (red sports) in between her eyes.
Overall you'd never know they were premies by looking at them. We are so thankful for these beautiful little miracles & so thankful to everyone for their prayers throughout is journey and to those who showed their support whether it was bringing a meal, a friendly text, a gift (or 2) a visit or even a Facebook post. We were overwhelmed with the sweetness & generosity!
