Nothing exciting...just an update

Catcher will be 4 weeks tomorrow, and in a few days he'll be officially one month old. Wow the time goes by so fast! He is getting sooooo big. Last week i weighed him on a produce scale at the grocery store and he weighed over 7pounds, well since then he's gained at least a pound i'm sure, he's all round and chubby looking now, never would have known he was such an early baby. I mean technically he's still "negative" age, at the dr's office they adjust their age from their due date not from their actual birth date if they were that much early, then they judge progress based on the adjusted age. Catcher is an adjusted age of negative 2 weeks haha.

He had his newborn hearing screen redone and it passed fine after failing twice in the same ear when he was still at the hospital. I guess all that ear needed was a little time. The next step will be when it's time to get his vision checked because he was on such high oxygen levels early on, it can be very damaging to the tiny blood vessels in the eyes and effect vision. Katie had been on high oxygen when she was born too and while her vision took a little longer to normal out, it did, she (as far as dr's can tell) has no lasting visual problems, so hopefully Catcher won't either.

Adam is doing the medi-fast diet program, he says he's lost 12 pounds already, and it's obvious (to me anyway). He is doing amazingly well sticking to his diet and i'm so proud of that, when ever i start a diet i usually cheat by the next day (sad i know) and i'm glad to see him working so hard toward his goal...makes me think maybe i could too :)
