Last Pediatrician checkup

Conor and Keira had their last appointments w/ the pediatrician on Thursday.  I find it hard knowing that we wont be seeing her again.  Its just so reassuring to see a specialist who knows all about my difficult pregnancy and everything that Conor and Keira have been through.  But on the other hand, it means that they are doing well and dont need specialized care.  Conor weighed 17 lbs 14 oz and Keira was 16 lbs 10 oz.  And they are both 66 cm long.  We got the ok to start solids.  So I have fed them rice cereal yesterday and today.  Yesterday I dont think they got any in them, today was better but Keira started to do the gag thing.  Tomorrow when we go to get their highchairs we are picking up the bottle nipples that you can feed thicker fluids through so they can at least finish their cereal. 

Im trying to get them both to nap in their crib.  Very difficult when most of the day there is only one of me.  So far it has been only one of them for one of their naps but its a start.  And we are moving their nighttime sleep to a later time.  I was putting them to bed at 7 but they were waking around 4 am so we are gradually putting it to 8.  We are at 715 right now and just 15 min later, they will sleep til 530. 

I had a bad day the other day missing Cadence.  I’ll just have to be a good Christian so that I can see her in Heaven when the time comes.  Im so thankful for all of the ultrasound pics I have of her. 

We took Trigger (our black 4 yr old lab) to the vet as she has been limping.  Turns out she has arthritis and some problems w/ her tendons that require surgery.  We are just waiting for a surgery date.  I expected them to have joint problems, just not this early in the game.  She is starting to get overwait as well.  I think its b/c we havnt been walking her as much due to the limping.  I imagine once the babies are eating more in their high chairs it will be hard to keep the dogs weight in check!

I’ll post some pics of kids eating once I get the photos on the computer.
