liam -- finn
so liam and finn had their two month appointment on tuesday. it went very well- liam is 7 pounds 12 ounces!! and finn is a pound behind at 6 pounds 9 ounces... finn is still spitting up a lot, so that was one of our main concerns, that he was gaining weight appropriately- he's doing just fine, gaining a little over a half an ounce a day, which is what they want to see. i think we wouldn't be so worried if his brother wasn't such a chunk, gaining an ounce a day!! so we talked about reflux (mom's getting tired of doing laundry, but definitely not enough to make him loopy with reglan), talked about the shape of their little heads (they kind of got the "toaster head" look from being preemies)- apparently, they won't look like that forever, much to my relief :), and they got their first immunizations... not fun. mostly for me... i don't think i was prepared, plus i'm sleep deprived, so the tears were immediate and didn't stop quickly... but they only cried for seconds, and did well for the rest of the day- even slept a little longer that night... :) oh, if only it would have lasted. so they are good little 2 month-olds! now we can start the time-table on when we can begin to stretch out their nighttime feedings and get them sleeping through the night!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! that CANNOT come soon enough!

I have seen much worse toaster head than that. Actually, I didn't even notice til you said something. Looks like Liam got the worst of it. I really really cannot wait to meet them and get to see their personalities. Liam looks so much like you in that second picture and I've always said that Finn was Bryan's twin. Who knows, maybe I'll have 2 little buddies for your boys to play with in october. Find out wednesday!
Love and miss you
Melanie
