The Girls 4 month Checkups

Today we went to the girl's doctor for their 4 month checkup. Amelia weighs 12 lbs 8 ozs, length 23 inches and head is 16.5. She is in the 25% for height and weight and 75% for head. She is in good health, she does have to go to physical therapy for Torticollis (ok spelt wrong), this is when a baby tends to look one way and has a flat spot on her head because of it. This is very common in twins, Amelia was in this position in utero, her head laid in my cervix once the cerclage was put in. She will be just fine. On to Miss Baylee, she weighs in 12 lbs 7 ozs, length 24 inches, and head is 16.25. She is in good health, they increased her dosage of Zantac because it is related to weight and of course she is bigger. She laughed and played with the doctor a lot today. The girls of course screamed from their shots but had mommy and Grandma I to comfort them. They have to go back in for the shot the doctor's office didn't have because of a nationwide shortage in a week or so. The girls are very close in weight and head measurements, but Miss Baylee has a whole inch on Amelia. We are so happy they are doing so well. We will update with photos another day, tonight we are just staying in to keep warm! Minnesota feels like the arctic today, amazing -44 windchill!!!
