Aegean Takes the Lead

Aegean passed Cambria in height and weight at the 4 month check-up. He weighed in at 12lbs 5.5 oz and she weighted in at 12 lbs 3 oz. He was 1/2 inch longer at 21.5 inches. Aegean continued to produce hemoglobin and is now 11 mg/dL. This is above the threshold that defines anemia so he can discontinue the supplemental iron.

We also had help from several coworkers and friends over the past few months:

Grammy Evans extended her stay for an extra 2 weeks. Grandpa Mitch is coming out for a few days before they both travel to London for a well deserved vacation. Aunt Andrea, Uncle Rich , and Grandma and Grandpa Brown will be out to visit shortly after. By the end of September we will be on our own until January.

The babies eat every 3.5-4 hours during the day and 4-5 hours at night. We usually feed them before bed by 9:30, again between 2-3 and in the morning. Dad gets up at 5:30 to feed the first hungry baby and still make it to work on time.

We think we will be able to manage both babies by the time Grammy leaves, but we are very thankful to have her help for so long.
