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 for the Babes

We went to the doctor's for their one year check up. Everyone at the front desk were impressed to see our girls walk into the office, say 'Hi' to everyone, then went to play with the toys. The waiting room was full of people that could not take their eyes off of them. The fact that they are identical is becoming more apparent to strangers.

The both received A+'s on their health and development. Dr. Monk was impressed by how much they could do and said to keep on what we have been doing since it is obviously working well. Definitely the praise a stay at home mom wants to hear from the doctor!

Unfortunately, they did have to get shots; 2 in each thigh for each girl. Ouch! They were even brave after the first shot. It was the second one that made them both cry. Ches and I learned that there is a Chicken Pox vaccine! Whoa! That made me feel really old, especially since he said it has been required from the school system for a long time. I guess the end of high school was 10 years ago for me now. In fact, the reunion is this summer, but I doubt we will be able to make the sojourn back to Florida then.

Here are the stats for the babes:

ALINA
Weight: 22 lbs (50th-75th Percentile)
Length: 29.75 in (75th Percentile)
Head Circumference: 47.2 cm (95th% Percentile)

AVERY
Weight: 21 lbs 12 oz (50th Percentile)
Length: 29.5 in (50th-75th Percentile)
Head Circumference: 47.1 cm (90th-95th Percentile)
