Snugglebugs

We took Riley and Payton to visit Evan after their 2 month (late) pediatrician appointment. They didn't even hesitate and snuggled right in! Riley has always been drawn to Evan as his snuggler so it was great to see that that hasn't changed.

Evan did eventually close his eyes and rest with his brothers company, we hated to break it up when it was time to go! (Some of you have asked what CPAP is (continuous positive airway pressure), and here is a picture of Evan sporting his. When we were at the hospital yesterday Evan seemed to be breathing with more ease than my visit the night before. They tried him off of the CPAP before we got their but they said after about 30 minutes they had to put him back on. Maybe they will try again today. I hope he will come off of it before they start his feeds tomorrow as that would make things much more difficult. Evan also graduated into a bigger crib (much to his brothers liking) because he is now regulating his own body temperature and does not need the overhead heater. Ben is on his way to the hospital now for the day and then he is coming home and will head up and stay the night so I can be there in the morning when we first try feeding him some of mama's milk. Payton and Riley checked out great at their peds appt. They both weighed in exactly the same at 8lb2oz! Riley is about 1/4" longer than Payton at just under 21". For their adjusted age of ~3 weeks they fell between the 25-50th percentile for both height and weight and in true (Lippincott) fashion their head circumference was just above the 50th percentile. They both showed off their muscles for Dr. MP and did a good job on their tummies. They are getting much better at tolerating this multiple times a day now. We are also getting set up with the early intervention program that will come to our house and assess the babes to see if we qualify for home visits from PT/OT therapists for their NICU/preemie follow-up needs. We already have a home health nurse that comes to our house to weigh the boys during the weeks they don't see the Dr and we love that service! Any appointment that comes to us is much appreciated with our schedule ;)

 Brody came downstairs with a new outfit on and Dad liked it so much he decided to wear the same thing! :) I can't believe the lil guy has 3T jeans on now!! We were just talking about how we think his curls are no more :( and you can definitely see that in this picture. When we find the time to get him to little clippers I think I am going to be brave and try a SHORT haircut! He's so cute I know he can pull it off but it will also buy us more time (which we need) in between cuts if we stop doing the shaggy longer cut. Brody is excited as he is going on a lunch playdate today to the park with his friend BIG Brody N. Big Brody will be 3 in a couple weeks and lives across the street from us too.
