Great news

P & E had their four month checkup today. Everything looked perfect! Granted, they're both still awfully tiny for being four months old, with Ethan not registering on the chart at all and Peyton slipping into roughly the third percentile for weight (but tenth for head size -- clearly she's going to have a huge brain like her mother), but I have to keep in mind that they should only be about 2.5 months old. For that age, they're about average. Besides, the important thing is that their growth curves look normal, which they do.

We're not allowed to start cereal yet though, which is a downer. I would kill -- kill! -- to get a full night's sleep at this point, and I've convinced myself that cereal is the magic bullet. One more month, the doctor says. Argh.

Aside from that, though, it was all good. The doctor said both babies look great and seem to be developing just fine, so unless they get sick, he won't be seeing them again until they hit six months. Works for me -- I saw more than enough doctors the first seven weeks of their lives!

And on an unrelated subject, having a "new" blog sucks ass. Granted, this blog is mostly for me, so that I'll have a record of P & E, but it was nice to have readers back at the old place. And nice to get a few comments once in a while. Then again, it is my own stupid ass fault for deleting the old blog, so I'll have to take my lumps. Nonetheless, if you know anyone who wouldn't be offended by reading a baby blog now and then, send them my way, would you? Please?
