Dr. Visit July 5th - 2 months

So yesterday we went to the doctor to have our 2 month mark check up. We were able to get some official numbers and percentages on how they are growing, but we also had to get their next big round of immunization shots. (Insert my very sad face here...) Let's start with the fun stuff first:

Carter

Height - 23.5" which is in the 69th percentile

Weight - 11lbs 12.6 oz which is in the 49th percentile 

Head Circumference - 15.75" which is the 48th percentile

Madilyn

Height - 21.8" which is in the 28th percentile

Weight - 10lbs 1.4oz which is in the 27th percentile 

Head Circumference - 15.24" which is the 46th percentile

After the doctor came in and checked all of their vitals and what not, the nurse came back in and had to give them their shots. (Had I thought about it, Mommy should have had a shot or two of something herself before the appointment!!) They had to get 4 shots total - one was oral and then the rest were given in their legs. Carter went first, and was not a happy camper. He wasn't a huge fan of the taste of the first shot but made it through ok. Then Rob had to hold his arms down while the nurse gave him two shots in one leg, and the last one in the other. Once again, not a fan. His face turned pretty red, and there was a bit of crying. Granted, it wasn't AS bad as I thought it would be, but still.. Once they were finished with Carter, we switched babies and I consoled Carter while Madilyn got started. Once again, they started with the oral vaccine. Madilyn wasn't a fan of it either - and actually spit up a LOT. (I would call it throwing up - but I don't completely understand the difference apparently...) Regardless, I was REALLY regretting not taking a shot or two of something to calm ME down - but thankfully, my wonderful husband was a great Dad and kept it together for the both of us. The cleaned Madilyn up, and finished the shots. She wasn't a happy camper either, but once she let out some screams, she fairly quickly fell asleep. We came home and had to keep an eye on them to make sure there weren't any side effects. They were both understandably irritable, and Carter had a slightly raised temperature, but I would say they both did really well.

So -- those are the stats for now. The doctor said they looked great, and are both growing right along track. We are taking them back in 2 months for their 4 month check up and more shots. Since they are growing so well, the doctor said we can start adjusting their feedings a little bit, and see how long they will sleep through the night. Rob and I haven't changed anything yet - but are anxious to see how long they will sleep between feedings at night. I'll be sure to update with that news once we try it for a little while.

I leave you with these cute pictures! :)
