More Shots for the Twins Today

Today was the day for the twins monthly Synigis shot (to prevent RSV). They had a total of three shots each, and as always objected vigorously to the entire process.

They are also growing nicely. They are both 25.3" long, and their heads are about the same size (Natan's is 42.7cm and Michael's is 42.5cm.) Both boys are in the 50th percentile for their ages- but would be in the 80th or 90th if it was based on their "corrected age" (this term is used for preemies when referring to age based on the original due date). The main difference between the boys is their weights- Michael weighs 16 lbs. 6 oz. and Natan weighs 17 lbs. 6 oz. Both boys are quite substantial in weight, with Michael in the 70th percentile, and Natan in the 80th percentile (I think they would be off the charts for weight based on their corrected age). Overall they are doing terrific, and hardly seem like they were little preemies a few months ago.
