Today was their 6 month check up... Lucas weighs in at 18 pounds 15 ounces, Rachael weighed in at 12 pounds 9 ounces. Lucas is 26 3/4 inches long and Rachael is 24 1/4 inches long. They both had 3 shots today and the rotovirus drink. Today was the last time they will get the drink. Lucas was gagging on it and Rachael was smiling at the nurse while she was giving it to her. She was also trying to store it inside her mouth but the nurse noticed and then she finally swallowed it.
The only new thing with Lucas is that we have to start giving him another solid food per day. I questioned whether it was okay for him to be so big and she said he is right where he is suppose to be for his height.
As for Rachael, we have to change formula to one that has rice cereal in it so its thicker to try to help with her acid reflux and also have to increase her Zantac again. She does have a hemorrhoid so we have to give her an ounce of juice and water once a day to try to make her poop a little softer to get rid of it. As for as her eating cereal fruits/veggies she said to try about every 10-14 days to see if she is ready to start those yet. We have to take her to a different physical therapist for a second opinion on her neck/spine and then we will go from there what to do. The doctor will call me a few days after we go see the other therapist. When I had her at the chiropractor yesterday he said that she was holding her head a lot better. So we will continue to go see him.
They do not have to go back for another checkup until August when they will be 9 months old. Good grief they are growing quick.
