The boys have been very busy these last few days... We had several doc apts., we all have colds and we saw our developmental pediatrician today. We interviewed another pediatrician last week since our current one is not on Brandon's new insurance... we are soooo sad about that! We hope we like the new doc! Christian went in Monday to have his helmet fitting apt. We decided to do Christian in a helmet and not Brock. Since our insurance did not cover the helmet we had to make a tough decision... Brock's head is so borderline that we elected to put C in but no B. We go and pick it up on Monday.
We saw the developmental ped. today and had a great report for both boys... C was 16 pounds, 24 1/2 inches long and had a 43.1 cm head. He is doing great catching up on his charts! He measured at 5 months and 1 week for all his motor skills which is great! Since the babies are almost 7 months chronological age and 4 months corrected age, they are expected to be at about a 4 month level right now and we are a bit above that! They have until age 2 years to really "catch up" with their peers. We had LOTS of questions and a test with the developmental lady (who C was not to fond of) and she felt they were both doing really well. B was an avg of 5 months and 3 weeks in motor skills and weighted 17 pounds, 6 oz and was 25 1/2 inches long with a 44.2 cm head. He is fully caught up on the size scale of a normal 6 month baby. He didn't mind the developmental pediatrician as much as C :)
C also had his 6 month hematologist apt this week and we checked out A'ok! He had great clotting and kidney functions so we are superstars there! That doctor called him a "miracle baby" and I have to say, I agree. The hematologist is in the same office as pediatric oncology and you have never felt so lucky as when you are sitting with other parents of children with cancer. It was a blessing to be cleared from their office and told "not to come back" :)
We had a couple of visitors in the last few days... The Crimmon's family came to see us last week with their super cute toddler Erin. We now have a good idea what we are in store for when the boys can walk :) We had our friends the Williamson's over with their 5 month old triplets and the babies all had a great time! If we had 5 munchkins we would FOR SURE need a bigger house! We always love seeing them and I know the babies will have a great time playing when they are older and then finally we had cousin Grady and my mom this week! B loved playing with Grady's feet and trying to smack him in the face. Very cute!
Finally we have all been fighting the sniffles this week! B and I both got it early this week and the boys have been sleeping, sneezing and coughing but not enough to take them into the doc. It is not fun having the sniffles and taking care of babies... I don't think mom's should be allowed to get sick.
