Fussiness, and gassiness....oh my!!!!

Well, I guess we have moved into the "real" infant stage as they have passed the 40 week gestational mark (their actual due date of March 27th) and man how things have changed. We are no longer dealing with the same babies we brought home just a few short weeks ago. They have moved into the fussy stage which is difficult with one baby let alone three. Our peditrician says it is a good sign as it shows maturity to use it just equals craziness :)

We are aslo to the point where we have to start stating their adjusted age. For those who have had preemies, you are fully aware of this. For those who haven't I will explain. When we state their actual age of 12weeks we now have to also state that they are 12 weeks actual but only 2 weeks adjusted. This lets people know that even though they are 12 weeks old they are more like an actual 2 week old. However, in some ways they are beyond a 2 week old but in others they are right on target. This will be the case throughout their first year or so.

Despite their fussiness and extreme gassiness, they are all doing really well. They are growing and eating more. We don't know their exact weights but will tomorrow as we have a doctor's appt. We are hoping that Emery & Grayson are around the 8.5lb mark and that Nathan is in the 7lb range. We have heard that once they reach the 10lb mark that is the turning point where they will start sleeping longer at night which we are in desperate need of.
