Julia:
Weight: 6 pounds, 14 ounces (up 11.5 ounces in two weeks), 3rd percentile
Height: 20 inches, 10th percentile
Margaret:
Weight: 5 pounds, 12 ounces, <3rd percentile
Height: 19 3/8 inches, 5th percentile
At first I was alarmed that neither girl breached even the 5th percentile mark for weight, but the nurse practitioner said that the growth curve doesn't account for their premature birth date or that they are twins and assured me that both girls are growing just fine and will catch up eventually. Makes you wonder why they even use the chart in the first place!
After their exam and weight check, each girl got the second round of the Hep B vaccination and we were all done. Mommy was so proud of the girls that she treated herself to Chick-fil-A for lunch afterwards :)

Great job!!! Girls are meant to be petite...plus they'll be a good match for Mason...(don't stress about the charts..it's hard not to but you really have to ficus on them relative to where they start and the journey..not the peers! I learned the hard way)
