Game Day!

Since the last post, Andrew has hit the 10 pound mark! He was 9 pounds 12 ounces at his visit to the pediatrician last Thursday. While we were there, the doctor did a little check up. She checked Andrew’s reflexes because I noticed that he twitches quite a bit while sleeping and stretching. The eye doctor said that as he is starting to look around more, he will still have some jerky movements. She said that I should consult the pediatrician if I was concerned. So while we were there for his last RSV shot, she did a little check. It is normal for babies to have little movements. One of the trickiest things about being born early is that it is hard to know which “birth date” to go by when looking at Andrew’s development. On Friday, Andrew turned 12 weeks old! He had his first play date with his friends David and Anthony from the NICU. We took a long walk and then visited for a little while. It was so good to see our friends; we haven’t seen them since we left the NICU. As you can tell from the picture, Andrew was exhausted after the long walk. Fresh air does wonders…and now the cold weather has kept us inside again!

I'm exhausted!
