5 Week Stats

Since my boys were in the NICU for two weeks, we are about two weeks behind in their pediatrician appointments. This means I won't have their monthly stats for about another week or so. However, we are part of a program the state of Arizona has for premies that tracks their development and provides assistance if they fall behind at any time. a nurse came out on Thursday and measured the boys. Here is how they measured:

Marc

21 inches long
weighs 7 lbs 4 ounces
head is 35 inches

James

20.5 inches long
weighs 7 lbs
head is 34 inches

Both boys are growing fast and eating lots! They eat about 3 ounces every 3-4 hours and the nurse said most premies eat about 2 ounces at a time. Our boys are going to be solid boys!

Yes you do have solid boys!!! They have much larger stats than our girls. At 5 weeks, Addison was just getting out of the NICU! What program are you signed up for. We have two programs that follow our girls. Southwest health and Carndon's Children Care.
