Answered Prayers...

A little delayed post...

we had a great week! Two good doctor's appointments in one week! On Monday we went to the High Risk Developmental Clinic at MUSC. First, a premature baby has two birthdays - the "real" birthday and an adjusted/developmental birthday (due date) so his birthdays are February 17th and May 26th. He is respectively 6 1/2 months and 3 months. The doctors were very impressed with Legare, and had nothing negative to say (which is a first!!!) developmentally he is around 4 1/2 months - which is great for a preemie to be so far ahead of their adjusted age. He can roll over, has awesome neck control, sits up in his Bumbo chair....the list goes on and on - I won't keep rambling - I am a proud mommy he is doing so well. We go back in 3 months - yeah one less weekly trip to MUSC.

Next, Thursday we went back to Dr. Traynham (pediatrician). Legare gained 7 ounces in 9 days- really probably 4-5 days since he was sick last week and didn't eat much. We were thrilled! He is 9 lbs 6 oz. We still need to continue with weekly weigh ins to make sure he continues to have steady weight gain, but right now there is not a tube in our future. We all did a little dance in the doctors office :) !
