2 Month pediatrician visit

The babies had their 2 month visit today - they have grown so much!! Abby and Lucas are now on the growth charts for their chronological age (around the 5-10th percentile). Zoey still has some growing to do to make it on the charts, but she is growing well relative to her starting weight. I forgot to ask what percentile they'd be at if we used their age adjusted for prematurity. It's a little distracting to be in a tiny exam room with three babies, three adults (me, my mom, and the dr.), three car seats, etc. It's all we can do to make sure we don't drop any wriggling naked babies on the floor.

Abigail:
3/25/10 Birth - 5 pounds 3 ounces; 18.5" long; 13" head circumference
2 weeks old - 5 pounds 4 ounces
4/29/10 One month old - 6 pounds 13 ounces; 18.5" long; 13.5" head circumference
6/3/10 Two months old - 9 pounds 8 ounces; 21.5" long; 14.5 head circumference

The babies had to get 2 shots each. They screamed so loud and their faces got so red, but it was over quickly. The doctor warned us that they might be more fussy this evening. That was an understatement! Simultaneous screaming from 5:30-6:30pm, and they seemed to feed off each other. So we broke out the tylenol, bottles of milk, swaddles, gas drops, and every other trick in the book. Now they're sleeping peacefully. Let's hope they stay that way for awhile!

Here's a picture of them passed out on the couch this afternoon, before the scream-fest.



They do love cuddling with each other, especially Zoey and Lucas.
