Sorry for not posting on here...Okay so yesterday Tommy turned 4 months old (17 weeks 2 days) his adjusted age was 6 weeks old! He weighed in at 8lbs 2ozs and is 20.5 inches long. He's growing. Just when I think he's huge and close to the normal size of baby the same age as his adjusted age....well on the chart as a 6 week old, he's still teeny. He's in the 5th percent for weight and just under the 5th percent for height on the growth chart using his adjusted age.
I just heard the other day that preemies normally take a year to catch up to their gestational aged peers and take two years to catch up to their chronological aged peers. To us, Tommy is just perfect the way he is!
He's doing fabulous gaining just over an ounce a day. We are so thrilled for that. Since we should be moving SOON, I've stopped pumping and have started feeding him frozen breast milk with the HMF and alternating with the preemie formula.
Oh, you want to know where we're moving, well so do we. Seriously, we have it narrowed down to two places. Langley AFB, VA or Wright-Patterson, OH. We'd be thrilled for either. Long story, but we think we'll be going to Ohio and this is great since our long time friends. The Rogers are there. Robby started going to a Mom's Day Out program with Katie R. in Enid, OK and then continued on into preschool in Dover, DE with her. They had always been in class together until early in their Kindergarten year...they'd love to be in the same school for 4th Grade in the Fall. Now if we go to Virginia, I'll be slightly disappointed, but the beach is kind of like living near your best friend :) I sincerely pray we find out for sure where we'll move. Either way we'll move sometime in between Jun 15th and August 1st. More details on this to come...
Okay so the pictures...I'm going to upload a few. All of which are from Tommy turning 4 months old yesterday...and then below his big bro playing soccer on Monday night.
