Second Doctor Visit

Today was the second visit to the pediatrician for the kids. We had to wait a little longer in the lobby this time, but our doc is great, so it was ok.

Joseph has gained weight, and is now up to 5 lbs 11 oz, 3 oz over his birth weight. Emma is now up to 5 lbs 9.8 oz, up from 4 lbs 14 oz a week ago. She's now 7.4 oz above her birth weight and has almost caught up to her brother. We're very pleased that they've gained their weight back, especially since they've been fed mostly breast milk (formula-fed babies gain weight more quickly).

The doc still doesn't recommend many public outings, as the twins' immune systems aren't too great yet (but they are better protected since they're on breast milk). So it's unlikely they'll make their appearance at church for a couple more weeks. We'll go to our family holiday outings, of course, but those conditions are much easier to control.

So they go back to the doc in two weeks. We'll let you know what there is to know when there is something to know.
