Growing! At the two month check-up Annellice weighed in at 8lb 4oz while Alexandra weighed in at 6lb 8oz. Based off our last visit to the doctor approximately 2.5 weeks ago, that puts Alexandra 2.5 weeks behind (as she has been all along) as Annellice weighed 6.b 8oz at that visit.
Sleeping! Both girls are spending a bit more time awake during the day. At night we are able to let them sleep 4-5 hours at a time, which is making a huge difference in our energy level and overall affect. We usually feed them at 8:30, down to sleep by 9:15-9:30, then we feed them at 1:30 and 5:00-6:00 depending on my work schedule and how well they are sleeping that particular night.
Eating! Annellice is up to 100 ml per feeding, or about 3oz. That is a long way from the 1.5 oz we started with when she first came home. Annellice has also been taken off of all of the formula calorie booster; she is eating pure breast milk. We do still add a little bit of thickener to prevent any regurgitation, though that should end this coming week. Alexandra has also seen similar expansion in the amount she eats at each feeding now consuming 75-80 ml, or just under 3 oz. When Alexandra came home she was eating .8-1.1 oz. Because of the relational retardation in weight gain, Alexandra is still on the calorie booster. She also remains on the thickener as her reflux continues once or twice each day.
