Just a quick update from our check up- Carson weighs 20 pounds, 15 ounces and is 28 inches long. Emilynn weighs 20 pounds even (I think she carbo-loaded at cracker barrel before the appointment so she'd hit 20! haha) and is 30 inches long. They are both really healthy overall. I only remember 2 percentages...Carson is in the 10th percentile for his height and weight isn't much better. He's a shortie. He's really not that big for his age, even though it seems like it, I guess because Emmy's so skinny. Emmy is in the 90th percentile for her height. She is a tall girl!
What we have to work on is weaning from the bottle and formula. :-( It's hard. They say "ba-ba". Milk is going okay for Carson, Emmy is hit or miss but we'll get there. I know it needs to be done. Carson's only issue is his eczema, it's gotten pretty bad lately. Emilynn is fine except for her tear duct in one of her eyes is still messed up. We are headed to a specialist for that. I seriously don't know when I'd work if I was still working. I feel like we are at a dr. once per week sometimes. And we are healthy!
The dr. is with me on the rear-facing car seats also. I was kind of surprised because she brought it up to me, and we are on the same page. She recommends a minimum of 15 months rear facing.
Today was a busy day-we had to run to Sam's club for Nanny and Marie. Then we had lunch at Cracker Barrel. We sat by the cutest older couple and the man came over to say how well behaved the babies were. They actually were so good, they hardly made a peep. Carson was grinning at the man and he kept rubbing Carson's head giving him a "noogie". It was cute. When they left Nicole was like "thank goodness, the pressure is off now. " I was thinking the same thing! LOL> I didn't want them to misbehave after the nice compliment! We also hit Target for a prescription-I forgot to mention Emilynn has her first ear infection! Bummer....but glad we caught it cause she wasn't really acting sick. A rite of passage I guess...first ear infection. Carson's ear cleared up on it's own, so that was a praise! Both babies got 2 shots and a TB test and we need to go for routine blood work but I can't handle that this week, maybe next week or the first week of Jan.
Tonight we had dinner with Meme & Poppy and I must say, I'm tired. Yesterday was busy with birthday stuff.....it was so nice though, it was casual and relaxed and we just had finger foods and people came and went when they wanted to. Meme (my step-mom), Poppy (my dad), Papa (Dustin's Dad), Aunt Marie, Cousins Hunter R., Shelby, Kelsey, Hunter P, Aunt Nicole, Papa (my step-dad), Nannie (my mom), Big Nanny (my grandma), Patom (my grandpa), Aunt Amanda, Uncle Wayne all came by to see the babies for their big day. It was a lot of fun.
Tomorrow we are hopefully staying in and just relaxing at the house. I have a few things I want to cook so hopefully I'll get that done but if I don't-no biggie.
Dustin's grandmother (Nanny Bowlin) is in the hospital with some lung problems (she went in overnight)-so say a prayer for her. Our family in general is having some health issues among our grandparents, the babies' great-grandparents so keep them all in mind during your prayers.
I am off to bed...so tired from a very busy birthday week and long day.
