Today was vaccination day. So, what I am really telling you is that we have three very fussy babies at home. The day's activities have worn them out, so at the moment they have granted mom and dad a reprieve from the crying. Every time we have all three crying, I grab the video camera just to document the chaos. But, wouldn't you know it, the little bugs stop crying when the camera is on. How do I prove to people that they gang up on us?
Overall, today's appointment went well, although we will be criss-crossing Illinois to see some pediatric specialists. Will is to see a pedriatric urologist for an assessment of some typical male preemie issues. No big worries, though. And, Will and Lila will see a neurologist about their flattening heads. Our pediatrician does not expect that the neurologist will recommend helmets, but she just wants to be sure. Finally, all three will see a developmental specialist just to make sure that they stay on track.
Now for sizes... Will is now the largest, which is amazing since he was over a pound smaller than Addie at birth. He is 11lbs 10oz (3rd percentile) and 23.5 inches long (5th percentile). Miss Addie is 11lbs 9oz (8th percentile) and 24 inches long (wait for it.....wait for it....45th percentile!) So, our fat, chubby baby is really long and skinny. It just goes to show you how distorted our view of typicaly baby sizes really is. Last but not least, Lila is 10lbs 6oz and 22.75 inches (3rd percentile for both).
So, it was a big day. Not to mention that the new triplewide jogging stroller came today. I love it. It turns on a dime. Derek thinks it looks ridiculous, but all triplet strollers do. I just cannot wait to use it!
