Yesterday, Lilly had her regular follow up at the ped GI doctor. She as usually has gained the exact same 14.3 gm/day since her last visit. It's really impressive, that no matter what changes we do, she gains the exact same amt of weight. She has continued to grow, we haven't started to "catch up" weight from being so small at birth, but she stated she's doing just enough to get by. Like she's treading water. Doing enough to stay afloat. Now we are going to try an appetite stimulant. Don't we all wish that was our problem. She also ordered some blood work and a head u/s to make sure we aren't missing something for the poor weight gain. As I was there with her, and thinking of what things could have been like, all the problems preemies can develop, I'm extremely lucky that this is the only thing we have to deal with. We didn't even think she was going to make it until we could deliver her, and now the only problem she has is that she is small. I would say that is pretty good for the baby I was told wouldn't make it and I needed to think about the other baby I was carrying. I am blessed that my preemies are doing pretty good, considering what the other problems could have been. So, we will try this other med and see how it works and keep doing what we are doing. I know it isn't her fault, I just want her to grow and be healthy. It does get very frustrating though when she doesn't want to eat. Alex continues to do well. He eats like a horse compared to Lilly. He is so cute and smiling all the time. He has filled out and loves being around Julian and Lilly. It always gives him a smile. Hopefully he will always feel like that. Julian is doing good in school. We had his open house the other night and he was so excited to show me around. All the teachers seem to love him and they all know him, even the librarian. The art teacher told me she loves sitting beside him and listening to his stories. He is such a good boy. We are enjoying a nice weekend together before Chris leaves this week for a trip. It's just going to be the 4 of us. Pray we all survive. I am getting used to being alone with all the kids. For the most part it is very manageable. Once everyone sleeps better at night, it will be a breeze.
