Okay, here's the skinny on us. Carson has a stomach virus, whatever is going around. The pediatrician did not need to see him (thank goodness), since he's not been running a fever. She gave me the name of a medicine (a probiotic) to mix with gatorade for him to hopefully help with the stomach issues. Soooo....I waited in line at the Walmart pharmacy FOREVER and spoke to the pharmacist and got the stuff because they keep it behind the counter, but it's not prescription. He drank it down no problem, after I let him stir his own drink up and pick his gatorade flavor. Silly boy. He seems kind of puny today....but he was sad when his cousins left this morning(Papa and the cousins babysat for me, I was home by 10:30 and had a ton of stuff done, I'm so productive today!) , so I think that had something to do with it. He loves playing with them. I hope he's close to being on the mend. And I hope, pray, have my fingers crossed no one else gets it. I'm glad we have been staying home and not spreading these germs around.
I had an eye dr. appointment this morning, I am happy to have new contacts-YaY! I can see again. My old ones were too weak for sure. I'm glad it's done because I tend to procrastinate just a bit... :-)
My check up Monday went well. I am 33 weeks along now. The baby has a strong, healthy heartbeat and he is VERY active! I go again on the 16th, then I'll be down to every week visits. Yikes! We will have a new bundle of joy before you know it. I'm starting to get more excited and less overwhelmed. We'll see how that changes once he's here and I'm sleep deprived. :-)
The twins had their 2 year check ups on the 23rd. Here are the stats:
Carson- birth weight 5 lb. 4 oz. 19 1/2 inches long. NOW- 28.5 lb. 34.7 inches long
He is in the 50th percentile for everything, he's just your average boy. But not to us- haha.
His speech is SO much better than his 18 month check. He only said about 3 words then, now
he's a chatterbox. I knew he'd catch up no problem. He also had infantigo on a spot by his mouth, so we got meds for that. It's cleared up nicely. He likes taking medicine and actually reminds me about it.....wonder how long that will last. He would come up to me and point to the spot for me to apply the cream. He also likes his Benadryl when he's sick.
Emilynn-birth weight 5 lb. 9 oz. 19 1/2 inches long. NOW-33.5 lb. 36 inches long
She is in the 95th percentile for height, off the charts on weight. She has no issues though
and is healthy as a horse. It is nice that both kids are so healthy and right where they need to be, we are so blessed!
As for percentiles...I never understood them before I had kids, and I don't weigh too much into them except it's interesting at times. So, in case you're wondering....
if 100 two year olds were lined up, Emilynn would be heavier than all of them, and taller than 95 of them. FYI.
Oh, and we got busted for having cups in bed. They do have milk in them so that's okay, right? That is truly our only bad habit-no binkies or bottles or anything like that......We'll see if we can break it....I don't know that I'm sold on the idea yet. Will keep you posted on that......
Well, I'm being beckoned to the lunch table....gotta run. Oh, and no shots at our 2 year visit-yay! We are good to go till next year! :-) Good thing cause I'll be running the baby back and forth for all those initial visits you do when they are newborns.
