2 Weeks Old

We went to our two week well baby appointment today. Here are the stats:

Landry:
Weight: 6 pounds 2 ounces
Length: 19 inches
Head Circumference: 12.5







Landon:
Weight: 5 pounds 3 ounces
Length: 19 inches
Head Circumference: 12.25



Real boys wear pink! Sorry little buddy!



Landry has past her newborn weight, but Landon didn't quite make it there. We have to weigh him again in a week and see how he is doing. He is eating a lot better now than when we brought him home. We struggled just to get 25 ml per feeding in him those first few days home, but now he can take up to 50 ml in half the time. I think he will beef up quickly!!! He gets so mad when we unswaddle him and his cry is very high pitched!! He is very happy being warm! They are both still sleeping most of the day. Landon has been awake a little bit more these past few days. On Monday, Landry will go to the cardiologist for the first time. They said the initial visit will take three hours. Please send good thoughts and prayers for sweet little Landry! One of the characteristics of a ventricular septal defect is a failure to thrive. Based on her eagerness to eat and her weight gain this week, I don't see a problem there! I haven't noticed any breathing problems either. You would never know she has a heart defect and hopefully things will stay that way!

WOW!!! They are REALLY growing!! What a bunch of cuties. Don't worry about Landon getting back to his birth weight...both my kids took about a month to get back.
P.S.
I will send over some of Ryans clothes when we get back so poor Landon does not have to wear GIRL clothes!!!
