2 month stats

The girls were born Oct 5, but yesterday marked their 2 month adjusted age

The girls had their first round of vaccines yesterday. OMGosh that was rough for TH and I. The screams…so sad. Luckily they calmed down a bit once we had them in our arms.

The remainder of the day for them wasn’t that great. They were very fussy, irritable and overall just unhappy. They would just start screaming (BLOOD CURDLING SCREAMS!!!) at random times. I was able to get them to sleep for awhile in their bouncy chairs. They never do that, but for some reason that was the only thing that would calm them down.

This morning, they seem to be a lot happier. They have smiles on their faces … which makes me feel relieved. I always imagine the worst case scenario, and with all the ‘talk’ about vaccinations blah blah blah — i just wanted to be on the look out. Call me paranoid.

Anyway, here are their stats.

SUMMER

Weight: 11.4 (75th percentile)
Height: 24 inches (95th percentile)
Head : 14.75 inches (25th percentile)
She is tall and slightly chubby with a tiny head.  That cracks me up! I think her head is so cute and so perfectly round.

KARA

Weight: 10.13 (50th percentile)
Height: 23 inches (75th percentile)
Head: 15.75 (50th percentile)
Her weight and size of her head are average/normal, but she is a bit tall.

It’s sooo funny, b/c I always think of Kara as having a big head, but in reality she is more proportionate and a normal size baby. Too bad they didn’t measure the circumference around Summer’s cheeks. I’m sure that would’ve put her Head up in 100th percentile. They are sooo chubby!!

The girls are right on par with smiling, cooing, talking etc…

Summer can hold her head up and push up with her feet like a 2 month old should.
Kara is ahead of the curve holding her head up like a 4month old would and also with standing (assisted, of course). She even took two steps at the doctors office. We are not ready for that!!! LOL

The girls have been watching tv for the past 2-3 weeks. It’s amazing how much further they can see now, and how alert they are. They are able to track us across the room, and they LOVE playing on their playmat and looking at everything. Right now, they are easily amused, and I am thankful for the SPROUT network, b/c the girls just stare at it all day… well, I only put them in front of the tv for about an hour… it gives me some free time to make myself lunch or take a bathroom break LOL.

Anyway, was going through pics and found this. I can’t believe I was SOOO big!! Here is TH and me at my sisters house visiting my 2 day old nephew. This was 2 weeks before the girls were born – 36 weeks pregnant.

I sure have forgotten what pregnancy and delivery were like, b/c just this past weekend, TH and I were talking about having more kids. I would love a son or another set of twins. I feel like having 1 more girl might make her feel secluded and separate. I feel like if we had a boy that’s okay, he’s supposed to feel a bit different, considering. And if we had another set of twins (any sexes) then that would be great too. It’s true what they say, that you forget all the craziness that happened during pregnancy and delivery… b/c I remember saying back then, that there was NO WAY I was having another kid. Never getting pregnant. Never having to have another C-section…and how the only way we would have more is if we adopted.

Oh my.
