2 Month check up and shots

Luke and Olivia had their 2 month check up and shots today. I think it was definitely harder for me than for them. I cried with them so they weren't alone =) They had to get 4 shots each, but luckily they have a combo shot option. That meant they only got 2 shots, one in each thigh, and an oral vaccine. We gave them some Tylenol before their visit, and we will keep them on Tylenol for the next 24 hours to help ease their discomfort. They did great getting the shots, and only cried for a minute. They are such troopers!

They are progressing perfectly, and did so well when Dr. Mona put them on their tummies. Both of them held their head up and reached up on their arms, and she said they would definitely be turning over soon. Dan and I will have to be extra careful when that happens; no more putting them in the middle of the bed to grab their bottles! We are going to increase their Zantac, as their reflux has been getting worse in the past week or so. We are also going to modify their eating schedule just a bit; more feedings with less milk during the day and more milk at night in the hopes they will go longer stretches and eventually (fingers crossed!) sleep through the night!

Here are their measurements at 2 months:

Luke:
Weight: 11.2 lbs (37%)
Height: 21.5" (7%)
Head circumference: 15.5" (36%)

Olivia
Weight: 9.4 lbs (14%)
Height: 20.75" (4%)
Head circumference: 14.5" (8%)
