We took the trio for their two week check last Thursday. It was pretty uneventful. Each of the babies finally lost their umbilical cord but the scab was still there. The pediatrician took alcohol wipes and cleaned out their belly buttons. To celebrate, we gave them their first real bath. Here are quick updates:
Madeline weighed 5 lbs, 8 oz. This is one ounce shy of her birth weight, which is pretty good considering how much she had lost within the first week. She is still spitting up quite a good bit so the pediatrician told us to go ahead and double her current dosage of Zantac. Overall, we were just happy that Maddie is gaining. I told the doctor that Maddie is still sleeping 20+ hours a day, but she assured me that was fine. Madeline is still our most relaxed baby, as long as she is held or in water.

Our next appointment will be the one month check. I'm not looking forward to this appointment as it is the first round of shots and the last appointment before Jesse goes back to work. Time is going by entirely too quickly!
James, I find you unbelievable. Nearly a pound UP? Your Aunt Katie is amazed. Keep up the good work little trio.
