Alex and Aiden had their one month check up today. They are both weighing 7 pounds 2 ounces and are both 19 3/4 inches long. Alex has done a great job of catching up with his brother. Both are still really suffering with reflux so medicine was increased. We are also adding just a little cereal to their milk at night. At one month old Wes was also adding cereal, but since the twins had such trouble with weight gain for a while, he was hesitant on starting this, so we will try a little at night to begin. We are hoping this helps. For the most part, Alex has not slept more than 20 minutes or so without waking up with somach cramps (except this morning with Aiden -- over an hour)!!!!! If he sleeps longer it is because he is so exhausted, but still squirming a lot. Aiden is a little better but he spits up a lot more which is probably why he has not gained at the same rate as Alex. The cereal will also add a few extra calories, but they may eat a little less since it is more filling. Seeing them in pain is the worst feeling.
It is funny to say, but they are actually starting to look fat. I can't believe they have gained so much in only a few weeks.
