Dr. appt

Paul and I took the girls in for their 4 month check up today.

Good but Bad news:
Sarah & Sam are both overweight! Who would have known that! To me they are still tiny!

They weight the following:
Sarah is 13
Sam is 13.14 HOLY SMOKES!

Sarah is 40% percentile for weight
she is 22 3/4 inches so 5% for height
and 16 inches for head circumference which is also 5%

Sam is 50% weight
23 1/4 height so 10%
and 16 inches for head...

NOW the bad part is all these percentiles should be even...not close with my girls. They are way fat and way short! I knew they were short even in the womb...but now the dr. thinks they are too heavy. Good part about that for me is that if and when Hannah goes back to school...if she gets them sick i won't be so worried about them loosing a bit of weight.

With that being said...i told the dr. i had been giving them a bit of cereal in the morning...which they really don't get more than one mouthful when i feed them. She said NO MORE CEREAL and that i should give them veggies and fruits instead. I have never heard this one before...but i'm going to start on that as soon as i get to the store for some baby food. I've learned from last time i'm really going to push greens...esp avacodas(spelling) Hannah hates them but i hear they are really good for brain growth.

Other than the dr. appt not much going on over here.

We did the walk on Sunday! Had a semi good time. Sam was hungry by the time we got around the corner...had to prop her bottle up and feed her on the go. Hannah had a blast...she just loved seeing ben and melody and the girls!! She was yelling melodys name the whole time trying to have conversation after conversation with her! It was really cute!

O yeah on another note: Mr. Beta died last Moday. We went to get her a new one and ended up getting a new beta and 3 hermit crabs. She likes them and they are definitely more fun than the beta...but they STINK! I'm wondering how long before they find a home out on the porch! :)

Lastly, thank you to all those who donated money for such a great cause! I walked through the start point almost in tears seeing all the people who have suffered premature births. ALL the signs sponsored by companies with babies names on them...some celebrating life others had not made it. I definitely think this will be the charity we will always hold close to our heart after melodys situation. I also just found out there is a lady in our group who had IVF..she had two eggs inplanted...both took and SPLIT which is a one in 9 millions chance! She ended up with quads...two sets of identical babies....3 of the 4 lived...they were at the walk celebrating the boys lifes...as well as the one that didn't make it...they were celebrating in memory of him! I had to fight hard to keep the tears back...

If you do not have a charity you support you should make it next years new years resolution to get one and really support that charity....even research it and see how much actually goes to the charity how many employees they pay etc. It's the best feeling in the world and it's not like you have to give tons of money!

I think that's it for now! I hope to update and keep on this more often...it's been crazy around here the past few weekends...hopefully it'll slow down soon!

O yeah
Sarah is sleeping from say 8p-130ish
Sam is sleeping from 730ish - 1230a!

NOT SOO BAD...and i know it will only get better!
