The girls had their two month check up yesterday (shots and all!)
The official stats are as follows:
Ava
height – 22 inches (45 percentile)
weight – 10 lb 4oz (45 percentile)
head – 15 inches (30 percentile)
Emilie
height – 21 1/4 inches (15 percentile)
weight – 8lb 7oz (5 percentile)
head – 14 1/8 (less than 3rd percentile)
As you can see Emilie is our little peanut.
Both girls had three of their vaccines yesterday. Ava had just settled down on the exam table and was dozing off when the nurse pinched her chubby little thigh and poked her with the needle. She got this “what the hell” look on her face, turned bright red, and screamed her head off. I thought my heart was going to break. Emilie turned various shades of purple, violet, and red after her shots… my poor babies. I think Jason will have to go alone to the next round… I don’t think I can take it again. The rest of the afternoon both girls were really fussy and had long bouts of crying… the kind of crying that left them breathless and sweaty. I ended up napping with both of them for most of the afternoon.
Today, both girls woke up in good spirits…smiling and laughing in their play gyms… thank god. No harm. No foul…
