We had a pediatrician appointment this morning for more shots :( another round of Synagis and also their second round of Hep B. Poor babies were not happy.
Caroline - 9lb, 7.5oz - almost at the 5% on the full term chart
Olivia - 11lb, 0oz - at the 15% on the full term chart
Eating Issues:
Caroline continues to eat less than her sister and it always turns into a scream/cry session EVERY time she eats (keep in mind they eat every 2.5 hrs around the clock). It takes me a full hour to feed her 2-2.5oz because she'll drink a little, cry a lot, want to burp and be held for a few minutes and then drink a little more, cry a lot more, etc, etc. Whhhheeeeww. It's hard work and I'm worn out after she finally falls back asleep. Olivia is a little easier. She eats about 3-4oz at every feeding and gets it down in about 30 minutes. We still fight them from falling asleep before finishing, but they're getting better. I always start each feeding off by feeding both of them together at one time (this is my wishful thinking that maybe one day they'll both just quietly drink all of their bottles in a few minutes without crying and I'll have them both finished and be able to have some downtime between feeding sessions.) But I usually end up having to put Olivia on "hold" and put her bottle down while I deal with Caroline and finish her before I can go back and finish with Olivia. By the time I have both of them fed to content, burped, calmed down and back to sleep it's been about 1.5 hours. and then guess what... I only have maybe 45 mins to an hour before they'll want to eat AGAIN! I'm basically feeding all day long. Ugh.
