Some Updates

Here's a couple updates on the babies...

- K has decided that she doesn't need to sleep through the night anymore! Yeah, it's not making for a very productive mommy the next day at work. We hope it's just the 4 month (adjusted age) wakeful period and she will be over it soon.

- Gavin had a tooth pop through today. He had been just a little crabby and whiny the last couple days but nothing terrible.

- They have their 6 month check-up on April 15th.

A few things on me...

- The chemo I was doing wasn't working so I have stopped it and plan to start another clinical trial on the 15th. This new trial is a 24 hour IV of meds. The doc told me today that when I have the meds home with me she doesn't want me to hold the babies at all because of the unknown affects if they were to pull it out and get the meds on them.

- I am having surgery to remove a mass in my stomach on Tuesday. Surgery will be outpatient and I should only need a couple days of recovery. We are pretty positive that it's more cancer but it's right under the skin so the removal should be easy.

- I have asked my oncologist to give me an appetite stimulant because I am not eating, not hungry and have lost way too much weight. I am 25 lbs. lighter than when I got pregnant! Who would ever think I would ask for an appetite stimulant!?!

Thanks for the thoughts and prayers! I will let you know how Tuesday goes.

5 months!!




Holy moly, how did these babies get to be 5 months old? I took Gavin in today to check and make sure his ear was fully healed...it was. We also got some exciting news. All the babies can come off the vitamins they were taking (good because they are nasty), the boys can come off the Neosure (preemie formula), and we can start cereals with them and then gradually introduce fruits and vegetables. Aggh, that means they are growing up, I'm not ready for that!

Gavin was officially weighed at the Dr. office today but the rest we weighed here at home so they aren't "exact."

Kesleigh: 18 lbs 15 oz.
Preston: 15 lbs.
Gavin: 15 lbs 5 oz.
