So I have been having this internal battle about how much is too much to share on a blog... but Karen aptly pointed out that I had earlier discussed the need to take Will to the pediatric urologist for a potentially undescended testicle, therefore I am supposed to update you on the result!
Will had an appointment on Tuesday to review his testicular ultrasound and to meet with the doctor. Poor guy didn't know what he was in for. Every time the doc or the resident would "examine" him, his eyes got very big, his mouth got very little, and he got very quiet. But thankfully, the news was good!
Will has a "retractible" testicle, not an undescended one. If you look up "undescended," you get scary words like "cancer." If you look up "retractible" you find out that his little parts just like to hide out sometimes. They'll see us back in 18 months just to make sure everything is still ok. So yay! One less -ologist for now. And no more eye-bugging exams for Will!

Baby's first shiner
Your eyes aren't deceiving you... Luke DOES have a black eye. On Friday morning, he took a tumble off of a chair and his right eye met up with the arm of the chair on the way down. It didn't seem so bad on Saturday, but now it does! He is doing fine with it, it looks worse than it feels I guess.
And of course, as luck would have it, we had an appointment with the pediatrician this morning for the boys' third Synagis shot! "Yes doctor, my son has a black eye. Yes doctor, I know this looks bad..." Actually, the doctor and the nurses thought it was funny.
Will continues to gain weight at a great rate! We are so excited about this, because our efforts are really paying off. Will had been stuck at 20 lbs for so long, and now weighs 21 lbs 3 oz. Good job, buddy! He's almost back on the growth chart for weight. Luke actually has jumped a percentile since we have started with Will's feeding therapist (he gets to eat all the high calorie stuff that she prepares too) and now tips the scales at 24 lbs 6 oz. No wonder our arms are tired at the end of the day!
