We spent most of Martin Luther King Jr. day at a the doctors.

The babies had their monthly visit with the Pediatrician to get their Synagis shot as well as some other immunizations shots. We also went through their developmental milestones and 2 hours later we were leaving the office. Savannah weighed in at 12 lbs 8 ounces and Charlton weighed in at 14 lbs 8 ounces. They were not happy with either one's weight and are getting more concerned about Savannah's lack of weight gain. They switched her formula back to Neosure, which is what she was taking in the NICU. We then rushed home to have lunch before we headed off to the Gastrointestinal Dr. 1 hour away. They reviewed Charlton's history and also change his formula to something call ElaCare, which is suppose to be the most broken down formula he can have. You can't even buy it in the stores it has to come through a medical supply company. They also changed his reflux medicine that needs to be mixed at a special pharmacy that does compounding. CJ also had an XRay of his head. I asked the doctor to look at a bump on the back of his head and he thought it would be a good idea to have an XRay. The results came back today and everything is fine.

Oh I can so relate to the not happy with their weight gain comment. Your little girl weighs the same as my LO who was born just hours before the twins. We are also back on the Neosure(still BF as well) and decreasing the solids he was loving to eat. Sigh. Hopefully in Feb we'll have good weight gain!
