Bi-monthly means every 2 months and not twice a month, right? Aw crap. Anywho …. The babies had their 4 month appointment on Monday even though they were 4 and a half months old at the time. My doctor is popular, so popular it can take forever to get in to see him. He’s totally worth it.
Our only concerns going in to the appointment were their slightly flat heads. Our doctor said that they were all mild, but to put a rolled up towel or blanket under Lauren’s left side since her flat spot is off to the side a bit.
Important things … Katie, the smallest at birth, is now the biggest baby at 13 pounds 8 ounces. Megan and Lauren are each 13 pounds 5 ounces. They are all in the 50th percentile for their actual age for weight. Katie is in the 50th percentile for length for her age while Megan and Lauren are in the 10th percentile for length for their age. If you compared their length to their adjusted age they would be in the 50th-75th percentile.
That’s the quick and dirty. Time is still at a premium here. I feel guilty using the computer whenever we do have a grandma here to help and even more so when James is left to take care of all 3 by himself. You’d think I was Catholic with all of the guilt I carry around with me.
Time to feed them! Again! and Again! When do they start holding their own bottles again?
Megan, Lauren and Katie. Four and a half months old.

Nichelles last blog post..Sleeping babies
Bi-monthly is every other moth (Good Job!!) Semi-monthly is twice a month. (in my previous life I worked for a publishing company). Also, those girls are sooo cute! I have trouble getting a three year old to smile for the camera, yet you got all three babies to smile pretty! Lovely!!!
LOL Thanks for setting me straight! I knew I knew it, but it got lost with all of the other useful information I garnered when I was an ENglish major in college (the first time around).
You have no idea how many pictures I had to take before I got one where they were all smiling. If you look closely enough at Katie's eyes (she's on the right) you might be able to see a tear. She was crying for no reason but stopped long enough to smile at me being a dork and I got the picture.
Must take more pictures! They get so big so quickly.
