2 month Check up

My sweet girls are going to be 2 months old tomorrow! They had their 2 month well check up and shots today. They got their hepatitis,DPT,Polio,and one other vaccine that slipped my mind. The last time we went in, they had to draw blood from the girls and they had 2 nurses come in and draw blood from each of them at the same time. I did not like that at all because I need time to hold each baby after their being stuck and its harder to comfort them when they are both needing it at the same time. So today, before their shots I asked the nurse to just do one baby at a time, so that I can comfort them individually. And so thats what they did. They gave Molly her vaccines first, and when they were done, I loved on her while they were giving Emma her oral vaccine. Emma did not like her oral vaccine at all which did not suprise me, because even at home she gags herself when I give her medicine. Anyhow, during the oral vaccine, she vomitted. Everywhere. After her oral, I handed Molly to my grandma so that I could hold Emma's little hand while the nurse gave her, her shots. Both my girls,cried so hard. But as soon as I picked them up, they were okay. They havent seem to have any bad affects from it today. They had a low grade fever (99.3 for Molly and 100.1 for Emma) and other than that, they have seemed okay. When the Dr came in to examine them, it was a complete mess. My grandma was holding Molly and I was holding Emma, and the Dr was sitting across the room. Well Molly projectiled across the room, it splashed the Dr, got all over my grandma and covered the floor. And while Molly was vomitting out of one end, Emma was vomitting out the other. :) She was working on her diaper, while we were waiting for the Dr to come in, and when he came in he examined Emma first and it so happens that her poop was all over her back, her arm, her blanket, a complete and total mess. :) And when the Dr put that stick in her mouth to check her throat, you'll never guess what happened. Yep, another projectile incident. All over the Dr, me, and the table she was laying on.
After seeing both the girls and their projectile dilemma's he decided that the Zantac he has them on for their reflux is not working. SO he is putting them on Prevacid.
Thank goodness my grandma was with me today, because it was a messy visit for sure. I needed the extra hands to help clean the mess.

Oh the fun part of it all was their weights!
My girls have been out growing so many of their preemie outfits and starting to fit into so many of their newborn outfits that I was really anxious to see what their weights are.
Molly is now 7lbs 7oz!! And Emma is 7lbs 3oz!!! Both girls are 19 1/8 inches long!
They are growing so fast! And getting chunky in their little faces and belly! I love it!
My sweet Emma has a hernia :( which the Dr said will go away with time, and Molly has a rash on her head and face. :( He said that would also go away, and that a lot of newborns tend to get it.

After we left the Dr's office, the babies were asleep and peaceful so my grandma and I walked around the mall that was around the corner from our Dr's office. On our walk, I saw another lady strolling her twin babies around. I had to stop and talk to her. I LOVE meeting other twin moms. We share so much that not just ANY mom can relate with us to. I love meeting other new moms too, but just something about twin mom's..we have a common bond...it's like we have a world of our own. :)

SO anyways, this lady wasnt the mom, she was the grandma but it was still fun chatting,her twin granddaughters were also 2 months old. I thought my girls were getting big and close to normal size for their age until I saw these girls. I realized that my girls are far from "normal" size. They are definitley the size of a baby fresh out the oven. Which I guess would make sense considering they are just now at "40 weeks".

Anyways Avery and Emery. They were cute little things.

Speaking of CUTE, my sweet grandmother got the girls DARLING dresses. They arent matching but they are coordinating, and I SO cant wait for them to wear them.

Well Im off to bed, another busy day tomorrow. Emma gets a head ultra sound then we are going to my dad's work for a cookout. Those sweet old people love gloating over my babies and I love hearing it. :)

The girls at the end of a very long day today!
