Here's an ongoing account of our babies' increasing cuteness - observe with caution!

9.29.2005

No pics today, just an update from our visit with Dr. Baumgard (their pediatrician) today.

the kids healthy appetites are showing their worth! They have both put on a huge amount of weight over the past two weeks...

Ainsley went from her birth weight of 6\1, down to 5\10, and is now a whopping 7\5!!

Fin started life at 7\4, went down to 6\15, and has now come up to 8\10! Holy crap, eh?

Oh, and get this - For those of you that were visiting and saw Fin's weird neck bump - it is called a sternocleidomastoid tumor. Sounds very serious, but the name sounds way worse than the actuality. Basically when in utero his neck was compressed and grew too short on one side and got inflamed. The treatment? Our little boy has to go to physiotherapy! Who ever heard of a 3 week old going to physio! Hilarious!

Finally, both kids have thrush (a yeast-type infection that makes for sore bottoms) so are on medication for that. Other than that, they have a clean bill of health - although Dr. B. did say that we cold probably slow down on the feeding a little bit, since they are way above average. This is welcome news, since its tough to get rested when you're feeding every hour through the night (no kidding!!)
