6/1/12
We had our first doctor's visit since the kids have come home. All looks good! Heart and lungs sounded good to the doc, their stomachs felt normal, and she was happy to hear we have been busy changing diapers. As new parents we are concerned or have questions about almost everything. One of the first questions we had was about the ever changing colors of their poo. She told us that every color but red should be considered normal at this point. She explained to us about their tiny bowels and how stuff will change color the longer its in there. She went on to say that the multi-vitamin they are on will also effect the color. It was more than I thought I would ever know about baby poop so I thought I would share some with you.
The best news of the trip was they both have grown! Emily was 18 1/4 inches long (up from 17" 12 days ago) and weighed in at 4 lb 8.5 oz, 2.5 oz over her birth weight. Evan came in at 18 1/2 inches long (was 17 3/4 at birth) and weighted 4 lb 12 oz, 2 oz over his birth weight. The doctor said most babies take two weeks to get back to birth weight, so she was pleased with the progress they have made. It was also great for dad to know they have grown since coming home...it means I am not a complete failure at feeding or mom can make up for my spilling more on them than in them when she feeds them. When they came home they weighted 4 lb 4 oz and 4 lb 7 oz.
Here are a few pictures from the last few days.
