Pediatrician visit

The babies had their first pediatrician visit yesterday.  All the doctor really did was look over their information from their hospital visit and weigh them.  They both weigh about 5 lbs 12 oz right now.

We have an appointment on June 22 to go in to have Ben's monitor data checked.  We were told that the clinic may be busy and wouldn't be able to get us in for 4-6 weeks so we are very happy getting in ahead of schedule.  I expect that he will be taken off the caffeine after this visit.  His alarm has only gone off twice, once when we pulled off a lead while changing him (obviously a false alarm) and once when he was sitting in the swing.  It only beeped for a second and then stopped, which indicated that the situation was resolved.  The lights indicated that it was an apnea (stopped breathing) but no bradycardia (heart rate drop).
