When we were released from the NICU, the girls' eyes were still not fully matured and they said I would need to go in for weekly check-ups with Dr. Carver and Dr. Corey for probably 10 more weeks. The first appointment took forever. They brought us in early in the morning so the babies aren't sitting in the waiting room with other people and they dilated the girls' eyes. Then they left us alone for a while and when the doctor came back in, their eyes still weren't dilated, so he put some more drops in. They left again for even longer this time and then finally came back and looked at their eyes. We were at the doctors office for an hour and a half. We did this routine for a few weeks and then I got fed up with it and asked if I could take the drops home and dilate the girls' eyes before we came. They sent me home with the drops and the next appt was less than a half an hour. Well, we got the all clear today from Dr. Corey that the girls' eyes are fully matured now and aren't at risk for R.O.P. anymore!! It's such a relief to be done with these appointments.
We signed on our new house today! It's officially ours! We're going to paint the kids' rooms and move the washer and dryer out of the kitchen. Then we're ready to move in.
