Journal entry by Jason&Leah Smith —
I’ll try to write one more update..😉 Let you know a little how it’s been going.. We had a pediatric appointment today, and the doctor was happy with their growth and said he didn’t need to see us until March! He said normally with preemies this age they would schedule another appointment in three weeks but he felt like they were growing well enough to wait six!👏🏼😊
Carter Joel now weighs:
9lbs 11.8 oz
Length: 22 inches
Head circumference: 14.75 inches
Casey Logan
Weight: 12 lbs .2 oz
Length 22.25 in
Head circumference 14.75 inches
Kendra Lynae
Weight 9 lbs 10.4 oz
Length 21.5 inches
Head circumference 14.75 inches
Carter is still on the lower side of the growth chart, but gaining well so he’s happy with him. Casey is getting close to overweight by the chart😯🙃 Dr. Byrum says we definitely don’t need to push him to finish a bottle! Kendra is just right on the growth chart right now.😊
How shall I say how it’s been going..? It’s going better than I thot it might.. I have had lots of help, pretty much had at least one other person around all the time. Just a couple times I’ve been totally by myself for just a little while.. (like not any longer than an hour for sure!) but I do think it’s going good enuf that I could be alone longer..:) The 1st week we were home our niece Micaela came and stayed so that helped get a routine going, now I have different girls coming every day.. Kari has been here all the nights, and starting this week, Cynthia comes some nights too, so Jason gets a break! Nights are getting better than they were! I’ve been trying to see how long Casey will go at night..he went 9 hrs once, but other nights 7 1/2-8 hrs 😊
Carter and Kendra still get up every 4-5 hrs.. sometimes Kendra will go abit longer.. I’m sure looking forward to the night they all go 8 hrs😉
We are very thankful for our lil miracles♥️ I think we have some very happy babies, so that’s a blessing too! Thankyou again for all your prayers and support🥰
