Weigh Day

We haven't weighed the babies since March 15th.  We thought it would be done at their 8 week checkup but it wasn't.  Our health visitor has a baby clinic on Mondays from 1:30 to 3:30 PM where you can take the babies in, weigh them and ask a nurse questions.  The Monday after their 8 week appointment was Easter Monday so it was closed.  Tate and Ellie were born at 5 and 6 pounds respectively.

In her first month of life Ellie went from the 9th to the 25th percentile and now she has gone to the 50th percentile in her third month currently weighing 12 pounds 3 ounces.  This means she has doubled her weight in a little less than three months.  This is about a month faster than normal but it is normal for twins.



In his first month, Tate went fromt eh 3rd to the 9th and is now in the 20th percentile at 10 pounds 14 ounces.  He has just now gotten too small for newborn clothes even though I started putting him in 0 to 3 almost a month ago because I was really tired of neutral sleepers.
