Smiles

We have seen smiles from all the girls in the last week. They really enjoy being talked to and watch us intently when we interact with them. Tonight I attempted to get some of their smiles on camera. Kate was sleeping during this time, so I will have to try to get some of her later. You have to be quick with them--I only really got good pictures of Anna.

Anna and Elizabeth loving to look at John talk to them

These two were in good moods tonight

The best smile picture I got from Elizabeth

She is not ticklish yet, and actually looks scared of my hand.

Big Smile

Jack's big smile--remember how hard and long it took to get Jack to smile for the camera!

The girls had their first and only synagis shot today. This shot is for RSV. We were a little disappointed that the insurance company only approved one month of these shots since RSV season goes until March, but the new guidelines state infants born between 32-35 weeks gestation only need the shot until they are three months old. Hence, this is why they are only eligible to this one dose. We are hoping not to catch this virus this winter, it can be bad for premature infants. Their weights at the office were: Anna: 6 lbs 12 oz., Kate: 6 lbs 1/2 oz., and Elizabeth: 5 lbs. 14.5 oz. Kate seems to be doing much better on the Zantac, she is not as fussy and I even think the volume and frequency of her spit ups is decreased. Also, Jack is feeling better. He had croup and was sickly over the weekend. He has been sleeping a lot more at night and falling asleep during the days since he is not napping anymore.
