Seeing as I have locked us in my room to hide from the mouse I saw a little while ago, it gives me a good chance to blog.
We (Granny, Joey and I) took the twins to their 2 month checkup today. They did amazingly well with their shots and are progressing well. We don't need to supplement with Iron drops anymore, they are gaining weight well and we'll continue to fortify their milk for extra calories. We're going to put Nick on reflux medicine too as he is sometimes fussy when he is eating. I think he swallows his spit up so its burning twice, poor kid.
Here are their stats:
Nickolas:
Weight: 8 lbs 5 oz ... >5%
Height: 20 1/2" ... >5%
Head: 38 3/4 cm ... 25%
Tristan:
Weight: 7 lbs 15 oz ... >5%
Height: 20 1/4" ... >5%
Head: 38 cm ... 10%
The percentiles are judging if they'd been full size newborns, not 6 weeks premature, so they're actually doing great. Tristan is only an ounce away from doubling his birth weight. We will probably be going back in November, it looks like the boys have been approved by the insurance to receive a vaccine against RSV. How cool is that? Its a shot about once a month starting in November, but I think its totally worth it! We'll know more details as it gets closer.
