So I am still debating whether this appointment was more traumatic for me or them. They both got their 4 month vaccinations today, which consisted of 5 separate shots (3 in one thigh and 2 in the other). They did very well considering. They cried a bit and then they calmed down and went to sleep. I will be keeping an eye on them and making sure that they don't spike a fever.On a good note, their growth scales have improved dramatically. Amazingly they are on the lower end (3-5th percentile for height and weight) of actual 4 month olds!! For their gestational age of 28 weeks, they are in the 85-90th percentile. Kylee weighed in at 9lbs 13oz and 22 1/2 inches long, and Kaylyn was 10lbs 9oz and 22 3/4 inches long. Kylee's head measured in the 5th percentile, and Kaylyns head was much bigger in the 25th percentile (that's why her daddy calls her mega dome!). The Dr. does want them both to spend a little bit more time on the left side of their heads to even things out. Apparently they favor their right side, and its causing them to have a very minor lop-sided head.
They are right on track developmentally for their adjusted age of 6 weeks. They are smiling and really starting to focus their attention on people and things. This is exactly what they should be doing. Dr.McCormick was very happy with their progress!
Right now they are sleeping peacefully. I just drugged them up with some tylenol (on the expert advice of grandma) to hopefully help keep their temperature and discomfort under control. I am so proud of my baby girls!!
