All Clear

We saw the Pediatric Cardiologist today. He did an ultrasound of our hearts. Besides our hearts being identical, there is nothing really out of the ordinary wrong with us. Phew! Mommy and daddy were very relieved to hear this news. Seems we each have a very small hole in the top of one of our chambers, which should close on it's own in no time. He also said we have some noise in one of the vessels that goes from the heart to the right lung, and that should go away as our vessels grow and expand. Seems these are pretty common problems in preemies.

The big news is that the doctor weighed us and we are both now 8lbs 2oz!! We finally broke the 8lb mark - yay! We aren't such little munchkins anymore. We actually look like we have a little bit of meat on our bones. We are starting to go for longer periods between meals. Mommy is very happy about that. We guess that since we are getting bigger our tummies can hold more food and we stay full longer.

Stay tuned for our next update which will be tomorrow - when we turn two months old!
