We saw Dr. V. today and were happy to see that both kids have gained a good amount of weight. Emma and Joseph weigh 7lb 12 oz each and are the exact same height. Pretty funny considering they are not identical twins. He also said we should avoid taking them out until they are two months old. Only one month to go!!
The doctor prescribed some Zantac for the babies since they both have acid reflux. Preemie babies generally mean immature digestive systems and can result in acid reflux (of course, it's common with the full term babies, too). We're hoping this medicine will result in much less screaming. Unfortunately, there's no medicine for the colic we've also been dealing with.
I have to give a big thank you for all the help we've been getting from our Florida friends and family. After a terrible night with screaming babies and a migraine, some wonderful people came to my rescue and let me catch up on sleep for a good portion of the day. I don't know how I would have gotten through that day without everyone helping.
