Background

On March 29, 2011, we were blessed with the arrival of our beautiful, identical
twin girls. We were very excited for this event, especially since it was
preceded by a 5 week hospital stay for me (and pretty much for Ches, too, since
he spent every night there with me).

Now we are trying to navigate the waters of parenthood. There is no amount
of mental preparation one can do to get ready for a new baby, let alone two
babies! I am creating this blog in order to share the experiences, but more
importantly, as a type of diary to capture all the moments I fear I will forget
if left up to just my brain to remember!

Stats...That May Be Out of Date

The girls went to the doctor on December 22, 2011 for their nine month check-up. As usual, Dr. Monk was impressed with their development saying it is beyond where he typically sees twins at that age. They continue to maintain perfect health. We were all relieved to hear that there were n o shots for that visit. Though late, I wanted to give everyone the rundown of where they were at.

ALINA
Weight: 20 lbs (75th Percentile)
Length: 27 in (25th-50th Percentile)
Head Circumference: 46.5 cm (>97% Percentile...seriously)

AVERY
Weight: 19 lbs 1.76 oz (50th-75th Percentile)
Length: 27.5 in (50th Percentile)
Head Circumference: 45.8 cm (90th-95th Percentile)

The doctor likes to show us the growth charts for each girls. When he showed us the chart for Alina's head growth, the dot was a good bit above the live denoting the greater than 97th percentile point. We can only rationally conclude that she has the world's largest head. Thank you, Wilson side of the family! The better to grow the brains in!

We are so thankful to have such healthy baby girls!
