Update/Pics from home

I went back to work last week. That has been a big adjustment, and definitely takes a lot more planning, but so far we have managed.  Thursday we have appointments at Cardinal Glennon. Unfortunately, Mabry did not pass her newborn hearing screen so she has been referred for an ABR, auditory brain stem response test. We are pretty confident that she can hear, but was just being stubborn when she had her newborn hearing screen. Alex has another nursery follow-up. If all goes well, he will come off the oxygen. This is what we are hoping for, but we also don't want to rush him, if it something he still needs. To be on the safe side, he will still be on the apnea monitor for a couple weeks after he comes off the oxygen. It alerts us if he stops breathing, or if his heart rate accelerates or decelerates.

Alex sitting in the bumbo. He seems to have less muscle control than Mabry. He did better than I expected. He looks bigger to me in this picture than in person. He is actually about a half pound smaller than Mabry.
