June 6th
At 11 weeks, the boys had their 2
month appointment. (Yeah, scheduling appointments with twins is a pain in the
butt.) The good news is that both boys are growing nicely. Logan is now 11lbs
0.6oz and 22 ¼ inches long. Riley is still the smaller brother, weighing in at
10lbs 4.8oz and measuring 22 inches long. Although he still has the bigger head
(while his height and weight were around 10th percentile, his head
size was above the 25th!)
The nurse and doctor seemed very happy with the boys’
development. They’re starting to sleep a little longer at night (6 hours) and
vocalizing a lot. Logan and Riley like to smile and coo a lot when we talk to
them and sing to them. On the bad side, the doctor heard a soft murmur in
Logan’s heart, so he’ll be going for an EKG next week to make sure everything’s
okay.
Oh, and the boys did not like their vaccines. Neither seemed
to be a big fan of the oral rotovirus vaccine, but that was cake compared to
the two injections each had to get. Talk about some big needles! They got the
DTaP shot in one leg, and before I could comfort them, they got the remainder
of the vaccines in the other. Poor little boys. There was some serious
screaming and crying for a good minute or two, but that was about it. They
weren’t really fussy at all last night.
Riley got his first prescription for zantac to try to help
with his reflux. We’ve been having problems feeding him for weeks, and had been
in contact with the office two or three times looking for advice. It’s a bit annoying
that it took this long, but my fingers are crossed that this will help him out.
He’s definitely not a fan of the medicine, but it’s got to be better than the
pain he seems to be in while he eats.
