Thankfully, daddy tagged along with us and it wasn't so bad!
Caleb's Stats:
Weight 14 pounds, 6 oz (30th %)
Length 26.0 inches (77 %)
Lauren's Stats:
Weight 12 pounds, 6 oz (17 %)
Length 24.8 inches (58 %)
For comparison, Alena weighed 13 pounds 14 oz at her 4 month appointment. FYI: My pediatrician laughed at their lengths and thinks the nurse was a little generous with her measurements :).
The pediatrician was happy with how they were both growing and didn't have any concerns. Caleb took the two shots like a champion and barely cried, but he was a little more unsettled during the day than his sister. We will wait to start solids until they are six months old. They continue to get mostly breastmilk and just a few ounces of formula daily (I'm very proud of this :)).
The other day, I went shopping alone with the twins. I had more people stop me and ask me about the twins than I ever had, (and I was starting to get annoyed!). One lady physically stopped my stroller and leaned her head into one of the car seats and started talking to the babies who were sleeping! Of course she woke them up, which ended my shopping trip early :(. I guess this is something we are going to have to get used to...I especially love these comments: "Oh, double the trouble." " You must be so busy." "Are they identical?" The last one cracks me up-just look under their diaper and you'll know they aren't identical!
Alena finally got a big girl bed because she out grew her toddler bed. Her bedroom is now almost complete except for a headboard (which I'm planning to make whenever I find the time). The other morning she was doing "circle time" with Lauren. It is so cute watching her interact with her brother and sister.
