Ok, ok, so I'm a little behind the 17 week mark! The Marsh girls turned 17 weeks old on Monday. I don't know where the time goes!!! Each day I have plans to get things accomplished, but between feeding, changing, washing, and dressing these young ladies, I can barely do those things for myself!
It has been a busy week. Last Tuesday Devyn had her casts removed...thank goodness! Now she has to wear her foot braces instead. That's easier said than done however. Within a couple days she figured out how to push her foot off of the bottom of the brace to wiggle her feet out. I keep telling her that if she knew how expensive these "shoes" were, she'd want to wear them all the time! But, so far, she doesn't seem to care for them. They are still uncomfortable for her, but must be waaaaay better than the casts!

On Friday the girls had two doctor appointments. First, they had another checkup with the eye doctor. There are still no signs of ROP (blood vessel disease), but they still have underdeveloped blood vessels in their eyes. The doctor will continue to monitor the girls until their vessels are fully developed... hopefully only a few more weeks.
The second appointment was their 4 month checkup with the pediatrician. Apparently these girls are eating well. Devyn weighs 10 lbs. 12 oz. and Kinley weighs 9 lbs. 13 oz. Wow! Both girls are just over 21 inches long. Devyn actually made it to the 2nd percentile of 4 month olds, which is pretty good considering she's 3 months behind them. Everything else went well...until the doctor let us know it was time for their 4 month shots. Ugh! We had some unhappy babies that afternoon, especially Kinley.
Devyn does NOT like tummy time!
Kinley doesn't mind it....for a few minutes at least.
Teamwork!
Devyn and Kinley had more visitors this weekend. Grandma and Grandpa Marsh came back for another visit. They can't get enough of these adorable grandbabies! And friends Matt and Sara came to meet the girls as well. Devyn and Kinley loved all the attention! They were not pleased when everyone had to head home on Monday.
