Eye exams and worn out kids

The kids had their eye exams late last night. John stuck around for it. Both kids' eyes looked great. There was nothing to be concerned about.

After exams last night, Fin had a bit of a rough night. He had to have some oxygen held above his mouth at 10:30 and again at 2:30. He also had more Bradys than he normally does. They checked him for inflammation and checked his blood count. Both were good. The nurses are thinking that he was just worn out from his eye exam, but the doctor said this was more episodes than they would expect to see. He said this could be normal for the little guy after an eye exam, so if he doesn't have any more than normal today, we will know to expect it next time. For now, we will just keep our eye on him.

We should see the feeding readiness group sometime today. Hopefully they will tell us we can start trying to bottle feed. If they do, we will just have to wait for the kids to tell us they are ready during one of the feeding times!

Maggie is catching up with Fin on weight. Last night she was at 3 lbs 10.6 oz and he was at 3 lbs 10.8 oz. Yesterday we got growth charts for both of them that show head circumference, length and weight. Both are sitting between the 20th percentile and the 50th percentile on all 3 measurements. The doctor said she would like to see them a little higher, but isn't overly concerned at this point. This is something they will continue to monitor (are you starting to notice a trend on that phrase?).
