Day 52 - First Grandma Snuggles

Day 52 – Friday, September 8, 2017

AGE: 7 weeks, 3 days old (32 weeks, 3 day gestation)

Lochlan: Weight is 3 lb 8.4 oz. (Birth weight: 1 lb 10.8 oz.)
                Length 15.4 in. (Birth Length 13 in.)
Lex:        Weight is 3 lb 2.8 oz. (Birth weight: 1 lb 10.8 oz.)
                Length is 14.8 in. (Birth length: 13 in.)

7 week update: Lex joined Lochlan in the 3 lb club on Tuesday (09/05). Since the boys are 32 weeks, they were able to switch to a RAM canula which is far less bulky. We can also see more of their beautiful faces. Lochlas is staying in the 30s with O2 and Lex is in the low 40s.  Things are pretty uneventful and we are happy that they can focus on rest and growth.

Grandma (Daddys mother) was able to hold Lochlan for the first time.

The boys had their first eye exam. We have known for a long time that preemies are prone to ROP. The exam was inconclusive because their eyes are not developed enough to see any issues. For now, no red flags, but we are not out of the woods yet. The next exam will be in a couple weeks.
