We went to the pediatrician for our 1 month appt yesterday (and I took them all by myself) and the girls are really growing! The shocking thing was how tall Lily has gotten. She's taller than her sister and was an inch and a quarter shorter to start!!
Abby
Born: 6lb 11oz, 19 1/4in
5 wks: 9lb, 21in
Lily
Born: 5lb 13oz, 18in
5 wks: 8lb 6oz, 21in+!!
They are doing great. Abby was getting a bad rash and very red and splotchy last week - Ron and I were getting very nervous about her having a food allergy. Fortunately, she has been taking milk-based formula for a few days now and isn't showing any signs of allergy. She still has a rash, but it hasn't gotten any worse. I think it must have been something else in the BM that caused her reaction last week - or something else entirely, who knows?
For new moms, Ron and I both agreed that this week was "a teeny bit" easier than last week. They have slept from about 9pm to 2am the last three nights. So there are small glimmers of hope to come! :)
