Wireless Babies

Hello everyone!!! So needless to say we have been very bad bloggers ever since the girls came home. Things at the Lamar house are busy. However, we should still be blogging because Adalyn & Emma could still use lots of prayers. So do not take our lack of blogging as a sign that we do not need your prayers, because we still do. The girls are doing great & we LOVE having them at home! The have been home for 6 weeks now...wow! They will be 2 weeks old corrected age tomorrow, 17 weeks old true age on Thursday, & 4 months old on Friday. There have been lots of changes with the girls. As of Saturday Adalyn weighs 7 lbs 9.5 oz & Emma weighs 6lbs 11 oz. Both girls are 19.5 inches long & we no longer have to roll their newborn pants up...yay! Both girls are off caffeine & their heart & breathing monitors. So Dave now loving refers to them as wireless babies. At the eye doctor last Tuesday Emma's eyes were completely developed and there were no signs of ROP...praise God! Adalyn's eyes are not quite mature yet and she has slight stage 1 ROP in both eyes, but the doctor said it is almost healed. So she has to go back in a couple weeks to make sure it heals the rest of the way & her eyes fully develop. Both girls have about 2 times a day where they are awake for 3 hours straight and then each tend to stay awake for a half hour after each feeding. They are very alert and love to lay on their boppy pillows and look in their mirrors...their eyes just light up it is so cute. They both are smiling as they fall asleep...our favorite. Adalyn rolled over yesterday while she was doing tummy time. They are both doing a great job at holding their heads up. It is exciting to see them gain strength. Pray that God continues to help them develop. Both girls continue to struggle with reflux, Emma still more than Adalyn. We continue to thicken their feedings and both girls are on prevacid. Please continue to pray that God heal their reflux. It is hard for us to see them be uncomfortable at times. It has also made it a little tricky for them to gain weight. Adalyn has been averaging about 1oz per day of weight gain & Emma just under 1 oz a day & their doctor would like to see them gain closer to 2 oz a day so that they can catch up to where their weight is supposed to be for their true age. So pray that God help them to gain weight better. Also praise God for keeping all 4 of us healthy & pray that he continue to protect all of us from infection.

Dave & I are both back at work full time so that definitely has added to the business in our lives. Both of us cannot wait to get home each day and see our lovely ladies. We are reminded each and every day what a beautiful and truly amazing miracle they are. God has absolutely blessed this family.

I will leave you with their 3 month pictures. I know...almost a month old...what can I say...we will try to be better bloggers :)
