Four-Year Check-Up

The girlies had their 4-year check-up a couple of weeks ago. We were SO not looking forward to this one because we knew what was coming....4 SHOTS EACH in their legs!! OUCH. They already are fearful of the doctor now (due to Jocie's teeth going through her chin last year and Gabbie having to be hospitalized from the stomach virus)....they just freak out when we mention the doctor and ESPECIALLY when they have to get shots. It's just SO sad! I waited until right before we had to leave to tell them where we were going. Of course Gabbie, my debater, assured me that they didn't need to go to the doctor because neither one of them were sick. I told her we were just going for a check-up. She then replied, "Oh, ok, if it's just a check-up then we won't have to get any shots, right momma??". SAD. We told them that if they were really brave and did well that we would take them to get ice cream afterwards. That pumped them up for a while....at least until the doctor came in :) All-in-all they actually did pretty well...I mean, don't get me wrong, they screamed bloody murder and fought us and the nurse with all their strength....but they actually recovered quicker than I had imagined they would. The ice cream promise helped big time :)

This appointment was crazy too because it is the first time EVER that they haven't weighed the same and been the same height. SERIOUSLY. Yes, I know, they are fraternal twins, but at every appointment they have had after they were born, they weighed the exact same and were the exact same height. NUTS!! Well, not anymore....

Jocelyn: 40 lbs 41 inches tall

Gabbie: 44 lbs 42 inches tall

Jocelyn is in the 75% for height and weight and Gabbie is in the 85% for height and weight. THAT IS CRAZY! They were SOOOO itty bitty when they were born and not even close to the growth chart. You would never know that now. SO thankful for healthy, happy, and "hollering" :) 4-year-old little girls!
