Wow! Can't believe Baby Evan is 2 weeks old. He's doing great and gaining weight steadily. He was born at 7.5 lbs, but then lost a lot of weight and went down to 5.15 lbs a few days after leaving the hospital. Two days later, he gained 2 ounces (6.1 lbs) and a week later he was up to 6.7 lbs. We're not sure why he lost so much weight in the beginning (and the doctors were very worried), but he has made a great comeback! Jorge even commented that Evan's clothes are fitting better, too!
Speaking of which, thanks to all our friends who have sent boy clothes to us! Evan is certainly a well dressed little fella!
He's much more awake these days, and it almost seems like he's looking at us and following us with his eyes.
Evan and Jada both had their retinal exams with Dr. Mukai. Evan was such a champ! Neither one of the children cried at all. Jada was amazing at the office visit - she's pretty young for doing an awake exam, and yet she was so brave. This was probably the easiest office visit we've ever had!
So, Evan will go back in 3 months for an exam under anesthesia (urgh!) and Jada is clear for a year. I honestly don't mind the awake/in office exams -- it's the anesthesia ones that I dread! But, I think we're going to ask that Evan only do 1 EUA since Joli's results did come back as non-genetic.
More to come later! Happy Easter!
