Asa is 4 months old...

 Our little Asa turned 4 months old on 19th.  He had his 4 month well check and it about did us all in.  The poor little guy got 2 shots then they wanted to check him for anemia.  I guess preemies often have a problem with that.  They poked his heel and it was 9.3 it needed to be 9.4 so he was on the border.  They redid it to make sure.  This time he was 9.2.  So they sent us to the lab to get further tests done.  This time they poked him 6 times because they could not get enough blood out for the test.  It was so sad and he was ANGRY!!!  Nash didn't like seeing his brother get poked or scream so he sat in the corner with his eyes closed and ears plugged.  :(

Asa's 4 month stats:
Weight: 12 lbs 13 oz - 5th %ile
Length: 23 1/2 inches - 5th %ile
Head Circ: 15 1/2 inches
GREAT NEWS IS HE IS ON THE GROWTH CURVE!!! YAY ASA!!!

Asa still can not hold his head up very good and has no desire to lift it during tummy time. So we have to get him re-evaluated for Early Intervention.  They do not come until the end of October so hopefully he will get some strength from now until then!

We looked at Nash's stats at this age and Asa almost a whole pound bigger then Nash but he is a bit shorter.  Click the HERE to see Nash at 4 months. I love dressing the boys in the same outfits and comparing them.  I took the above picture this morning.  The picture below is Nash at 5 months.
