Troopers

The babies had their two month check up today and they are both doing very well.  Chick now weighs 10lbs 6oz and Pea weighs 10lbs 10oz. This is funny because Chick eats SO much more than Pea does.  Chick has been sucking back 4.5 - 5 oz of milk every four hours while Pea has only been eating 3.5oz at every feed up until this week.  Now he is up to 4 - 4.5oz.

The most difficult part of today was that each baby had to get their vaccinations.  Oh, the horror.  We were very worried about them and hated the thought of them being in any kind of pain, but it was okay.  The first shot was easy and neither baby flinched, but the second shot sent both into big cries.  As soon as we picked them up, though, they were pretty well soothed.  I think it was harder on us than it was on them.

So, now we watch for any signs of a reaction or fever.  Hopefully, we'll only have slight fussiness for the next 24 hours or so.  Wish us luck.
