2 week appointment update

On the 19th (which would have been their due date if the girls were singletons) the girls had their two week appointment. We got to meet their pediatrician and really liked her- picking a pediatrician is hard work... there was an awesome ped we met in the hospital, but she wasn't accepting new patients. Justin and I just randomly picked one and decided that if we hated her for whatever reason we would try someone new for the next appointment.

The girls got measured and we were able to see where they are on the growth chart. Claire was 5 lbs 12 oz and 19 inches long- she isn't on the growth chart for weight yet and was in the 3rd percentile for height. The doctor said that at the next appointment we'll get a better idea of where she will end up on the growth chart. Audrey was 7 lbs 7 oz and 20.5 inches long (although Justin said the nurse didn't have her all the way up at the end, so she is getting more credit than she should for height) putting her in the 30th percentile for weight and 50th for height. It will be interesting to see where the girls end up- they don't have their next appointment until they are 8 weeks old. We need to keep waking the girls up every 3 hours to eat until then (Audrey usually wakes up to let us know when she is hungry- it is Claire we need to keep a closer eye on).
