Devyn and Kinley are 21 weeks old and doing great! As a matter of fact....maybe too great! Devyn has been put on a diet. Well...ok, maybe not a diet. At the pediatrician appointment this week she weighed in at 13 pounds 2 ounces. She's gained almost 10 pounds since birth! Even though the girls only get a small amount of formula (in addition to mom's milk), the pediatrician agreed that she no longer needs to be on the extra-calorie preemie formula.
"Just in case you didn't know.....I'm the favorite!" -Devyn
Kinley now weighs 11 pounds 8 ounces. She's gaining weight well also, but the pediatrician is leaving her on the extra-calorie formula until she makes it onto the growth chart for her age group, which is currently 5 months (even though their adjusted age is more like two months).
Kinley's smile...along with a bit of drool!
Our recent doctor's appointments have gone very well! The ophthalmologist said the girls' eyes look very healthy and we don't need to see him again for 6 months. I'm sure Devyn and Kinley will be happy about that! We visited the lung doctor last week for the girls' first RSV vaccination. They didn't like the shot, but the doctor said their lungs are in great shape! Devyn has a visit with her orthopedic doctor to check on her feet and braces next week....other than that I think we're free from doctors for about a month!
The countdown has begun...I will be returning to work in 7 days:-( I can't believe how fast the time has gone! I am so thankful that I was able to be with the girls all summer while they were in the hospital and then for another 12 weeks once they were home. Thankfully Nana, the girls' great-grandma, is coming this weekend. She will be staying with us and watching the girls until Christmas break, so we won't have to figure out a daycare situation for another few weeks. We are so lucky she's coming!

Dad is explaining football to Devyn. She has been really interested in the TV lately.
Just relaxing....
Devyn loves it when you make faces at her!
