Doctor's appointment

Took the babies for their doctor's appointment today.

Nicky: Nicky's blood work came back fine. He is 21lbs 5oz and 32 inches long - which means he grew a whopping 4 inches and gained two pounds. Nicky is in the 90th percentile for height and the 25th percentile for weight - Doctor said he is doing great!

Jenny: Jenny's blood work came back fine as well. She is 17lbs 3 oz and 30 inches long - which means she grew 2 inches and gained one lb since her last appointment. Jenny is in th 50th percentile for height but she is below the chart on weight - she has only been 3rd to 5th percentile since she was born so the doctor is not worried that she fell slightly below the chart- she has a feeling that she will continue this trend for some time - especially because she is constantly on the move.

They each got two shots - Prevnar and Chicken Pox.

I have to bring them both back when they turn 15 months.

Joey has a banner weekend this weekend:

Tonight - Birthday party for his cousin James.
Tomorrow - work with me in the morning - birthday party for his friend at 4:00pm.
Sunday - My sister Kelly is taking him to the movies!!! He is going to sack out on Sunday night!!!!!

That's it - I have to feed the babies and then we are off to Chuck E. Cheese!!!!

This was when she was just starting to get sick....she fell asleep on the floor....

On the mend

Well, we are all on the mend - Thank goodness. Still a little stuffy but we are getting better. Thank goodness for the nice weather - I have been able to get the babies out in the fresh air a few times.

I just got a new double umbrella stroller - they seem to like it.

Nicky still refuses to walk. Yesterday, I was holding his hands and walking him around the living room - we went around twice and then he was done.

Jenny grabs my hands and starts walking all over the living room with me - even though we all know she does not need my help! She is definately a pip!

Joey is doing much better too - and for some reason - he has been such a sweet boy since he got sick - hopefully it lasts.

I haven't taken many pics lately - all kids were too green - but I will post some updated ones soon.

Have a good day!

Scratch that....

Joey and I came down with the full blown flu yesterday. So all five of us are sick. Joe and Jenny are almost over it. Nicky is in between and Joey and I are still in the thick of it. I (can you believe it) even called in sick to work yesterday - I was driving to work and realized that I was about to pass out behind the wheel. Of course, I am here at work now.

The twins finally ate something yesterday - which was a relief. When Nicky is sick - he still is pretty pleasant or he just sleeps. Jenny cries the whole time. Since she is so tiny - when she is sick and limp it is more scary - she seems so fragile. Even though I know she is the toughest out of us all.

Joey woke up yesterday with a fever and he said his legs and his forehead hurt - then he went back to sleep until 10:30am - the whole day he only got up to go to the bathroom - so you know he was definately sick.

He was sleeping when I left this morning but he didn't feel hot.

Joe said the babies were up a few times last night - thankfully he let me sleep right through because I was sick. Good man. Good man.

That's it. Have a good one.

Jenny

Sick House

Joe, Nicky and Jenny ALL have the flu!!! The babies are so sad - they just lie there all day whining.

I told Joey to pretend they all have the cooties and stay AWAY - I don't need him to get sick too.

I am fighting it off pretty well - downing medicine and drinking alot of water.

Wish me luck!
