2 Weeks Old

At two weeks old, all three of the babies are still doing very well. There has not been a single thing so far that has been cause for concern. We could not ask for anything more.
At this point, Jonathan is up to 4 lb, 3.9 oz, Ann 3 lb, 14.3 oz, and Lydia 3 lb, 7.3 oz. All of them are taking 50 to 60 cc's of formula at each feeding, every three to four hours. Late last night they took Jonathan off heat and will monitor to see if he can hold his temperature without any assistance. If he does that okay, he will soon be in a bassinette. So long has he would not have any brady's (dipping heart rate) or apnea's (forgetting to breath) for a week and would get upto the required 4 lb, 12 oz, he will soon be on his way home. Although Anna weighs more than Lydia right now, we are not sure who would be the 1st girl home. We say this only because Anna has the most Bradys of the three.
Unfortunately we kept our visit short this time around. We needed to take care of some things around the house, including finishing up organizing their clothes in the closet for when they come home. Dad got this accomplished right before bedtime while Mom was taking care of some laundry.
The plan right now is to travel up and back to/from Bradford next saturday to pick up Grandma Johnson and bring her down for a visit. Uncle Eric will take the bus over from Allentown on Mother's Day and stay through Tuesday.
Sorry, but I haven't put any pictures up on the site for a couple of days. We've been taking more with one of the traditional cameras more than the digital the last couple of days. We hope to take some pictures of the room now that it is organized, so we'll post those once they're taken.
