Lennox hit 3 pounds last night! Hooray! I have no idea why this has made me terribly excited, but it has! 3 pounds seems huge at this point, although in reality it's still really small -- but in our world every ounce counts! Paxton was 2 pounds 4 ounces and is starting to get a little round belly! It is exciting to see them steadily gaining weight.
For the most part, both boys have been holding steady. Paxton has been on and off of oxygen, due to his drops in heart rate and oxygen. However, this seems to be his pattern. Off of it for three or four days and then back on for a couple of days. Again, this isn't anything they are worried about, but attribute it to age and immaturity. Lennox has remained off of oxygen and has started becoming more aware of when it is time to eat. He starts stirring and chewing on his hand or arm when it is close to feeding time.
On a more exciting note, Brent was finally well enough to go visit the boys and hold them yesterday. He has been sick with pneumonia the last couple of weeks, so he hadn't seen the boys in two weeks and hadn't held them. We are so thankful that he is feeling better and was able to visit with them for a few hours.
We took a couple of new pictures yesterday and I'll post them in the next day or two.
