We visited with MFM on Friday and the boys looked great. Their weight gain continues to amaze as they’re all right at 2 lbs, which is on the high end of the scale even for a singleton. They were all very active, especially our trouble maker Baby B (that’s got to be Maxwell – Max). A and B were literally performing somersaults and even our laid back guy, Baby C, was much more active. (Mikki swears that she didn’t sneak any coffee prior to the visit!) It is truly amazing to see and feel all of them moving at once. I’m not sure how Mikki takes it, though I guess that she has little choice.
After the visit, we took a tour of the NICU and special needs nursery at Woman’s. It’s impossible to fully appreciate just how small a 2 lb. baby is unless you see one in person. Quite honestly, the thought of caring for such a little person is very scary. We know this though, the facility and people at Woman’s are terrific. To the extent our boys have to spend time in the NICU, we know that they will have the very best care.
If anything, the visit to the NICU provided Mikki with the motivation needed to carry these babies a little longer. Every day the boys stay in her belly is a day (or a few days) (or a week) less in the NICU. Please keep Mikki in your thoughts and prayers. It gets a little tougher on her each passing day, both physically and emotionally.
25 weeks down, and another 7 -10 weeks to go!
Finally, in case someone is interested, or you know someone who may be interested, we are selling our boat. $7,000 or a year's worth of diapers (times 3). Here is the link. http://batonrouge.craigslist.org/boa/2499341474.html
