The 4th week

Alyssa had her appointment for her ultrasound to check on her ovarian cyst on Monday of this week. The doctor said it had shrunk quite a bit. It went from 5 cm to 2 cm in diameter. He said at this point no follow up is needed. He thinks it will keep shrinking and they wouldn't even operate on it at this point unless it was causing her problems. Once it starts shrinking it won't all of a sudden start getting bigger so we don't even need to have any other ultrasounds. I was so happy to hear this news!


Owen was hesitant to hold the babies when they were first born but now he wants to hold them all the time!

The 3rd week

The babies had their 2 week check up this week at 2 weeks and a couple days old. The Dr. said they were doing great! They got back up past their birth weights so she said we didn't have to wake them at night or during the day anymore to feed them. Alyssa weighed 5 lbs 15 oz, 10th percentile (the Dr. did not adjust for being born early). She was 19 inches, 8th percentile. Emmett weighed 6 lbs 5 oz, 20th percentile and was 20 3/4 inches, 55th percentile.
