Did you guess Brett and Emma?
We took B&E to the doctor today for a two month checkup - everything was great. Here are their stats:
Brett:
Length - 23 inches
Weight- 11 lbs, 8 oz
Emma:
Length - 23 inches
Weight - 10 lbs, 10oz
Brett caught up to Emma and then left her in the dust. He put on 3 lbs in a month. Holy moly!! They are both in the 50th percentile for weight so that's great.
We met a new doctor today. Dr. W. She was very nice and I liked her, but she is very into the cry it out method. Not really my style. I smiled and nodded when she assumed the babies slept in their cribs at night. What would Dr. Cry-It-Out (CIO) have to say about co-bedding? She said Brian and I need to be more "militant" with their night feedings. She said one night of crying and they would be sleeping like champs. I'm not really into this idea but Brian doesn't think it is so bad. I might be gone overnight in July to visit my good friend Stacey and see the lovely Britney Spears in concert. Brian can let them CIO then if he wants, but I don't think I can bring myself to do it. I honestly do not mind getting up 1-2 times a night to feed them, so I don't think the CIO is necessary right now.
B&E also had their 2-month shots today, so they have been sleeping that off all morning. I was going to refuse the baby tylenol that is typically given immediately at the office, before any signs of a fever are even shown. Luckily the doctors and nurses don't do that anymore - at least in this office. We did stop and pick some up on the way home, so I can give it to them only if they need it. But they are napping away and seem to be doing just fine.
Happy Two Month Birthday, Brett and Emma!!!
