Wake County Human Services

Since Carson and Dean were born < 32 weeks gestations and under 1500 grams they qualify for free services to help with their development. We figured since it was free, why not. Every 2 - 3 months we'll have a registered nurse come to our home to assess where they are at and if they need any further medical attention to assist with any area of development ( speech, etc ) they can assist us. Yesterday was the first visit and was really just introductory. Truthfully, Carson & Dean are doing tremendous. They are over 3 months old, however, they are considered only 1 1/2 months old based on their due date. However, the actions and behaviors that they are currently doing, are more in sync with a 2-3 month old. We do tummy time, they are great with lifting and turning their heads, loving their tongues, and reaching for things. So, already, great signs. The nurse did have a scale with her so we weighed the babies. Dean came in at 11 lbs 5 ounces and Carson 10 lbs 5 ounces. They are getting big!
