Update On Babies

Babies had their 6 month immunizations this week (they are 7 months old though). They usually do really well at these appointments, this visit however didn't go quite as well. Babies were hungry and had decided not to sleep before the appointment so they were pretty grumpy before they got 3 shots, you can imagine them after they got the shots. Lainey and Nick really didn't cry long at all. Gabe was not so happy, I think his teeth were bothering him to boot. All in all though the babies did well and once again Dr. Lehine was very pleased with how well they are doing. Here are their weights:

Lainey
Height: 26" (25-50 Percentile)
Weight: 16.5lbs. (25-50%)
Head Circumference: 16.5" (10-25%)

Nick
Hgt: 25.75" (5-10%)
Wgt: 17.1lbs (10-25%)
HC: 16.75" (5-10%)

Gabe
Hgt: 27" (25-50%)
Wgt: 17.6lbs (10-25%)
HC: 16.75" (5-10%)

The percentiles are based on their actual age of 7 months. If we chart them on their gestational age their percentages would be much higher. Even though they are a little on the small side to average, that is amazingly well for 5 week premature babies. A lot of babies born at 35 weeks are not able to even be charted yet. We are thrilled with how well they are doing.
