Today the twins had a check up. They are 7 weeks old. Doctor Novak was very pleased! We have been on a 'fattening up" diet this week. And the results are in:
(drumroll please)
Ava is 7 lbs 4 oz
Alex is 6lbs 7oz
That means Ava gained 20 oz in 1 week! Is that possible??? I guess she just had alot of catching up to do! Alex gained 14 oz - almost a whole pound! We're psyched! They had to get a shot, which sucked, but we're over it now.
Ava will need to have her frenulum clipped. Doctor Novak thought that it might rip on it's own, but since she is having feeding issues, he said he'd like to see it clipped. He referred me to an ears/nose and throat specialist. So, the sooner thats done, the better - and we can resume nursing more regularly.
I have a confession to make... I have been nursing Ava alot the past few days. (only to follow up with formula afterwards) I missed snuggling with her. She is doing well in the nursing department, and I hope the tongue snip will only help.
