2 Month Dr. Visit

We made it through the 2 month doctor appointment - not without poop or tears - we had plenty of both of those  ..... the babies - not me!

They received their shots, and although they cried, it wasn't terrible.  The doctor just doesn't have an explanation for Max's breathing.  She just seems to think that's the way he breathes right now.  Baby girl had a bit of retracting as well.  They are both a bit congested still.

Max and rose are identical in their measurements.  They are both 10 lbs 10 oz, 20 1/2 inches long with head circumferences of 15 in.  Although their measurements keep going up - they aren't "on the curve" yet for height.  They are in very low percentiles for weight and head size.  Unfortunately, they are off the chart (high!) for their weight compared to their length.  Oops!   It's ok for now - but if they keep getting fatter we'll have to cut back.  Sounds like the story of our lives!  Poor kids.

Grandma and Grandpa Vannasdall are on their way back home.  It was a rude awakening when there was no one to hand off the crying baby to.  They were a lot of help and they will be missed.  Nittany will especially miss Grandpa.  She was his constant companion.  





Now it's back to the regular routine.  I'm going to try and move them to their cribs this week for naps.  Until now they have still been sleeping in their pack and plays in the living room with me close by.  Once they are comfortable in their new room, we'll start moving towards having them sleep there at night.

I'm absolutely exhausted and would love to just curl up and sleep.  Maybe this weekend.
