This past Tuesday, July 13th, the twins turned 2 months old! It is hard to believe this much time has passed already! They are growing a lot. We had their well visit appointment and Katelyn is now weighing in at 9 pounds 4.5 ounces and 20.5 inches. Corban is weighing in at 10 pounds 7.5 ounces and 22.5 inches. They are still in the low percentiles for height and weight for 2 month olds. But, since they were born a month early, they are right on track for 1 month olds! Good! Last week we had a scare with Katelyn. I went to change her diaper and noticed a piece of hair was wrapped around one of her toes 4 times and then three of her toes one time. I pulled the hair, hoping to break it. Well, most of it broke.. but it got SUPER tight. I could not see the hair after that to try to loosen it up. Her toe started swelling and bleeding. Totally freaked me out. When i could't fix it i decided to call the paramedics. They arrived within literally a few minutes, took a look at her toe and said they could not do anything. They too couldn't see the hair because it was so tight and said to call my pediatrician or to head to the ER. Luckily, my mother in law was in the area, so she came right over and watched the other kids while i took Kate to our pediatrician. Apparently this is something that happens a lot with young children and he was prepared! He had a sensitive formula of NAIR that he put on the toe two times and by the time we left his office her toe looked a ton better. Still swollen. Still bloody, but better. What an ordeal! That day he also saw her in one of her "fits" and presribed Axid for her. It is an acid reflux medication that is much like zantac but without the alcohol. So far, it has really helped. She is not even spitting up much, if at all anymore. She still has a hard time eating, but he said it would take about 2 weeks for the meds to work fully. Yay for relief! Other than that we are doing well. The weather has been nice lately so the big kids have been spending a lot of time playing outside. The twins have been spending more and more time awake lately too. Katelyn has finally given me a social smile. Corban has too, but he makes me really work for it! So, that is our update!
