My due date was this past Wednesday. That means Hannah and Hailee finally have a positive adjusted age! It's nice that they are not 38 weeks, 39 weeks, etc anymore. This next Wednesday their actual age will be 11 weeks and their adjusted age 1 week old. We had their first visit with a Neonatologist last week and everything is looking great! Hannah weighed 7lbs 3oz and Hailee 8lbs 13oz. They are both getting so big! Hailee is a chunk! :) The doctor said that many times with a discordance the babies won't "even out" until they are close to 2 years old. The girls should developmentally act somewhere in between their actual and adjusted age. So, they should be acting and doing the things that a 1 month old would be doing. We are urged to do lots of tummy time with them and talk to them often.
I have been nursing both babies more versus bottle feeding them pumped milk. They are both doing better with it than they previously were. It's such a relief because I am really getting sick of so much bottle making and bottle washing! It's just so much easier.
I must say, the girls have gotten fussier in the past week or so. I actually think they may be more like a normal baby would be. Ella was just such a good baby, so we aren't used to a baby that is fussing just to fuss. Hopefully as Hannah and Hailee get older they will be able to better self soothe themselves.
