Gavin is 2 months!!

On Friday we went to the Dr for Gavin's 2mo check up. He weighs almost 11 lbs and is 21 1/2 inches. That means that in 5 weeks he has gained a total of almost 6 lbs and he grew 3 inches. Way to pack it on Gavin!! He has gastric reflux, which is supposedly common in premies, so he was prescribed an antacid. It works amazingly. In just 2 days he is sooo much happier. He was actually called...pudgy by his Dr. I was thrilled!! He is in the 25th percentile which is great for being a month early.

It was funny, because both Gavin and Joey had Dr appts. and Joey wasn't supposed to get shots this time, however they did recommend the flu mist. So we went for that!! Well, when the Dr walked in the room Joey thought the flu mist was a shot and started to cry. Bennett walked up to the Dr and kicked her in the leg and said "go away". The Dr (quite good natured) laughed and said, "wow, he's a bit protective isn't he!" Ha Ha Ha. Joey, by the way did great, and is 40 lbs and 42 in and in the 8th percentile. The Dr did mention that he will probably need glasses, so we will be going to see a pediatric ophthalmologist.
