Makena had a check up with the pediatrician on Tuesday. At 11 days old she is gaining weight like a champ! She already weighs 6lb 13oz! She is growing out of some of the preemie outfits already. Her jaundice is getting much better. Makena's umbilical cord fell off this weekend - she has a belly button just like her sister. She is also doing better sleeping at night. She still cluster feeds from about 11P to 1A, but will go for 3-4 hours at a time between feedings after that. Next pediatrician appointment on November 1st.
Melia weighs 23lbs now. We had her hearing screened again. The results were not really clear. The doctor will check her ears again at her 24 month check up. Because her speech is developing so well, the doctor doesn't think that there is a problem.
Both girls are doing well. Melia is still in love with her baby sister. The kisses and hugs continue!
