Saving Starfish: GI

So much going on here.  Thankful for vacation next week.  Sprout's visits (as of this week) have been modified to give bio mom time with him during hours in the day other than morning.  So he's with her from 2-6 one day a week.  In that time, she has to feed him 2 meals and since he is usually a morning napper she has to keep him safe and occupied for 4 hours.  So far, so good. 

Lil Peanut is up to 12 pounds.  (We got him 2 months ago at 9.4) He is a bit delayed but since he is a preemie and passed the Early Intervention evaluation I guess as long as the dr's are aware...he'll be ok.  We are following up with the developmental pediatrician, pediatric endocrinologist and the cardiologist to rule out and issues.  Since his situation is so unique, the only one I have to compare him to is his twin.  I have been in touch with his aunt and she has sent videos of his twin.  The twin is truly advanced compared to Lil Peanut.  I was informed at his last well baby visit that he had a Grade 3 brain bleed (as a 31 week preemie). Anyone with knowledge of long term effects PLEASE send some info in the comment section!!  He is a happy boy and now rolling front to back and back to front.  He is FINALLY in 3-6 month clothes and size 2 diapers.  He is VERY long!!   Loving the time I have with the 2 of them.  They both LOVE to look at each other and Sprout 'talks' to Peanut all the time.  He is very gentle with him (aside from trying to pull his socks off!)  Hoping I can fill you in on our next adventure in the coming weeks...
