Three Lees in a Pod plus the Little Sprout: New Stats

On June 25, 2008, at 30 weeks gestation, we welcomed our three Lees in a pod to our family. Piper was born at 12:36 p.m. weighing 3 pounds 2 ounces, Henry followed at 12:37 p.m. weighing 3 pounds 15 ounces, and Rosemary showed up last at 12:37 p.m. weighing 1 pound 14 ounces. On August 2, 2008, Piper came home from the NICU at what would have been 35 weeks and 3 days of gestation weighing 4 pounds 15 ounces. On August 7, 2008, Henry followed and came home at what would have been 36 weeks and 1 day of gestation weighing 6 pounds. Finally, on August 16, 2008, at what would have been 37 weeks and 3 days gestation, Rosemary came home weighing 4 pounds 4 ounces. On August 10, 2010, at 39 weeks and 4 days gestation, we welcomed Penelope to our family. She was born at 12:35 p.m. weighing 7 pounds 14.8 ounces.

New Stats

The babies had their 18-month check-up yesterday. Here are the current stats:

Piper: 21 lbs., 14 oz. (10-25th percentile), 31 inches tall (25-50th percentile), 18 inch head circumference (25-50th percentile)

Henry: 22 lbs., 2 oz. (5-10th percentile), 31 3/4 inches tall (25-50th percentile), 19 inch head circumference (50-75th percentile)

Rosemary: 18 lbs., 15 oz. (<5th percentile), 29 inches tall (<5th percentile), 17 1/2 inch head circumference (5-10th percentile)

I can't believe how big Piper is, especially since I rarely see any food actually go into her mouth rather than on the wall or floor. Henry is our best eater, and Rosemary a close second. Piper doesn't eat -- yet she continues to grow. It's a great mystery.

I know I haven't been posting much -- I've had writer's block . . . or something like that. I do have plenty of Christmas pictures to post that will be coming up over the next few days, though!!!

We loved the Christmas card! Even more gorgeous in person than on the computer. :0); December 31, 2009 at 12:19 PM
