The
home care has now ended and we have been transferred to normal
baby care visits at the local baby care center. The feeding
tubes have also been removed, so the babies now look like
normal babies, although still a bit small and of course cuter
than most! ;-)
They
are growing well and yesterday's measurement gave the following:
| |
Weight |
Length |
| Ella |
2160
g |
|
| Gabriel |
2910
g |
49
cm |
Due
to the von Rosen-skena Ella has we can not measure
her lenght. We have also done a hearing test and it was all
okay. Gabriel is getting rounder all over and Ella has gotten
round and fluffy cheeks, but still has old woman's
legs to some extent.
Our
life goes between feeding and feeding and sometimes I manage
to get out of the apartment to do some shopping. Anders buys
the groceries and for later I have found a webshop that delivers,
which will be well needed. We have been trying to get out
and do some activities, but we really don't have much time,
since we need to match the next feeding and feeding one outside
is easy, but feeding two at the same time becomes more of
a project and is not really something we want to try doing
in a coffee shop or elsewhere. Due
to this years flue of the RS-virus we also try to avoid public
places with a lot of people and small children.
We
have bought a carrying shawl of approximately 5 meters, in
which I can carry both babies at the same time. It will definitely
come in handy when Anders has gone back to Shanghai. Apart
from that I am curious on how I will manage connecting baby
number two for feeding when I am alone. Today is however my
practise day, because Anders is at the boat fair, so I will
just have to find a solution.
