can you believe it??? heidi is two months old!!!! in some ways i feel like she just came home from the hospital a week ago and in others i feel like she has always been part of our family. the doctor visit went well. all four of us went :) boden did very well. we told him he had to be quiet like he is at church (we haven't put him back in the nursery yet due to dr's reccomendation with sickness going around), so from the moment we stepped into the waiting room he started whipering and telling us to be quiet like church.
anyway....she is doing very well. weighed in at 10 pds 10 ozs (50th percentile) and 23.5 inches (80th percentile). nurse commented that she was long and skinny. these are very similar percentiles to what boden has hung around. will be interesting if they stay similar. it really shocked eric and i that she had grown three inches since her first appointment just short of a week old. the nurse didn't seem to think that it was that surprising. she was like, 'well it has been two months', and we were like, 'it has only been two months!' :) also interesting was her head circumference (50th percentile). the nurse commented on her having a little head, we laughed as everyone knows that boden's is definitely on the big side :) it has never been below the 92nd percentile and i think as high as 98th :)
let's see.... what else.... dr said her biggest danger for a while yet is boden :) the doctor seemed a little surprised that she was sleeping as well as she is - last feeding at 10pm then again at 7am. has been that way for a few weeks now, of course last night she was up at 4am :) hope it was due to the shots and we will be back to 'normal' again tonight. she got shots and screamed to high heaven. boden didn't quite know what to think of that. should he be worried? he got a bandaid and a sucker out of the whole thing, so i think he was pretty happy with that :) the picture in the previous post is after heidi was 'choking' down a new medicine they give for the roto (i know i'm spelling that wrong) virus. she didn't like it too well.
well, i'm off to give boden a snack and feed heidi....

uh-oh! she was probably up at 4am because she slept so well in the evening!
well, i'd rather her be better for you than for me :)
actually, i really do think it is the shots. she has had a low grade fever all day today. seems in decent enough spirits, but just a little off.
