Update

Addison's laser procedure on her right eye went as planned. We are just giving her eye drops throughout the day. No patch but she has some redness in the eye. We will know how effective the procedure was a couple of Tuesdays from now.

Mercy Home Healthcare came by today and Bryson weighed 6lbs 11 ounces. Addison gained an ounce since the last time she was weighed. She's at 6 lbs 1 ounce. I'm sure Tuesday was a little stressful on her. Later today we received a call from Arlene (our home health nurse) stating we could take BOTH babies off the oxygen. A nurse will come by to check their oxygen saturation level Saturday morning to make sure they are okay on their own. The apnea monitor is sure to tell us before the nurse arrives if there is any regression. We now know that their heart rate will increase if their bodies need the oxygen assistance again.

One other thing. Bryson is now at 20" and Addison is 19.5". I would have never guessed she was only one half inch shorter than her brother.

Also I may create another photo album once they get to November 13. That would have been their 40 week full term date. They are both at the point of being responsive much faster to our voices. Bryson is doing the Ray Charles with his head and neck. It is is cobra imitation. He also just started paying attention to the dogs as I had him on the floor sitting up. Both are more focused at staring at us now. I caught Bryson for the first time staring at the mirror in bed 10 minutes after I laid him down. Usually it is either crying or passing out. Sounds like a sorority trash can punch party. Ba da bump! Addison, being a female, of course, starting staring at the mirror early on. She said something about her hair getting messed up by the bunny hat.
