18-Month Stats Are In......

......and the girls are FINALLY at the 20-lb. mark. Stats are as follows:

Kate: 22.2 lbs, 32" tall
Julia: 20.3 lbs, 31.5" tall

So, both girls are still on the small side for their age, but that's fine with me. You all know I don't want them to be freakishly tall! They cried a lot, no suprise there, and the crying started long before the shots began (of which they each received 4--ouch!). But, Dr. B was very encouraging and complimentary, as he always is, and it was a really good visit. I'm praying that United gets their act together--they are currently in negotiations with our pediatric practice, and I will be so devastated if we have to switch practices.

I decided to just carry the girls into the office today, sans stroller. I held Julia, and Kate held my hand and walked. How is my precious girl old enough to WALK while holding my hand??? It was weird--one of those disconcerting moments that makes one all too aware of just how fast time is passing. I almost started to cry as my mental fast-forward button was involuntarily pushed......visions of the poohberty blues and teenagers telling me they hate me started dancing around my head. *sigh* It's going too fast. I know I say that too much, but it is.

Maybe I need to have another baby.

Don't really have any other news to report. Signing off for now.

Heart hug.
