6 mths. later

The boys became 6 mths. old the 25th. They went to the Dr. and got shots, and we got the "Go ahead", to introduce solids, finally. So, for a treat, and a reward I guess... They got pears. Davon did beautifully, while Dorrall wasn't all that interested. I always think of the 33 days they spent in the NICU, and Thank God. With each passing milestone, I think back to the agony, and helplessness I felt having to leave them there. 33 short days. At the time, it felt like forever. They were so teeny and helpless. I knew full well that the nurses would take excellent care of our boys, but as their mother... Well who really can take better care of your babies than yourself ? I was so certain, I would never bring them home. That after all we had been through, they would in fact succumb to some terrible NICU staph infection of some sort... Alas. 33 short days, and they made it home. Any who. The stats. For their 6mth. check up. "Baby B" weighed in at 12lbs. 15oz. And "Baby A" weighed in at 12lbs. 10oz. They started out at 1445 grams and 1275... They gained beautifully, on nothing but Mommy's milk. I'm quite pleased, and they measured in at 23in. The both of them. Up from 15.5 and 16. My big boogers! Hmm... Maybe one day soon... I will introduce them to you?
