Santa!
Sorry it's been so long since I posted. We haven't had internet at our house for over two weeks now. The girls got to see Santa today. They did so well, especially since they had to wait 45 minutes in line. I don't have much time now, but I hope to fill you in next week on the new happenings around our house. I hope you all have a very Merry Christmas!!

Out of touch
Since last Monday we haven't had internet or cable at our house. The cable I don't miss much, but the internet I'm addicted too! Thank goodness I can sneak in some 'net time at work once in a while! I feel so disconnected from the world. I have no idea what's going on in the news, or on Facebook (lol!).
The girls are doing good! They are 6 1/2 months old now. We had their Christmas pictures taken on Friday afternoon. Here are a few the photographer sent me. I'll get the CD with all of them sometime this week. This lady does a pretty good job for not being a professional. She works with my mom and takes pictures for fun. Can't beat free!
I think the family pic turned out pretty good, although you can tell I'm MELTING in my turtleneck. My fact is so red.
Katie's hair was pretty wild that day. We tried to tame it with hairspray, and it held for a while, but then it started to lift back up. She looks like a peacock when it is left alone. Pretty funny.

I love this one of both of them. So sweet!
Kaitlyn loved the big ornaments.
Natalie tried to eat them so here is a good shot without them in her mouth - lol
I'm pretty satisfied so far with the pictures. I can't wait to see the rest of them. Sometime this week we HAVE to get them to the mall to see Santa, I don't want to miss him! We also have their first ornaments to buy and their stockings.
The girls also went to their first Christmas party on Saturday. We didn't get any pictures of it, but it was fun. They did better than I thought. There were a bunch of people there and they got passed around. They were just full of smiles. Nap time was not fun since the noise was pretty loud, but we survived. It was the first time my dad's side of the family had met them.
We still do not know what we're doing on Christmas Eve or Day...it's always a battle with Hubby and me as to what we're going to do. We need to decide quick!
Okay, enough blogging, I gotsta get some reading in before I leave work today. I'm so behind on reading other peeps' blogs!

6 month check up
All's good in da 'hood!
Stats:
Natalie -
13lbs
26 1/2"
3rd percentile
Kaitlyn -
15lbs
27"
26th percentile
I got a couple of little girls! K has stayed pretty consistent in her weight gain and the percentile she falls into. Natalie on the other hand has slowly dropped off. Being in the 3rd percentile is a little concerning. We are going to feed her every 2 hours now instead of every 3. We talked with the doc about staying at 3 hours but upping the amount, but with her spit-up issues we figured that probably wasn't a good idea. I hope that helps her gain some weight.
It was a pretty routine check up. There were no real issues to talk about, but somehow the appointment lasted an hour. The girls did have to get some vaccines - 4 injections and one oral. So sad! It worked out this time that Hubby got to hold them while they got their shots and I got to hold the other one out in the hallway so the crying one didn't make the other cry.
Later on tonight Hubby got a phone call from the doctor. Apparently the nurse screwed up and only gave the girls three injections and the oral. She thought it was just four vaccines, not four injections. Hubby said the doc sounded really embarrassed and apologized for the screw up. Thankfully the one she missed was just the booster of the Hep B. They've already had two of them and it's not like they are exposed to it. He said we can have them get in next month when we bring N in to get weighed again or at their 9 month appointment.
I'm not really sure how I feel about it all. I'm really glad the doc double checked and fessed up - in fact he called the nurse at home to get it all figured out. At the same time though, what if it was something more important, like an overdose or something. I don't know what I'd do if something happened to my girls, especially from a stupid error.
So far tonight N seems to be sleeping well - after putting up quite a fight to go to sleep. K on the other hand went down easy but has woken up a dozen times...so who knows what the rest of the night is going to be like. I purposefully made their appointment on a Friday afternoon so I could have Saturday to recover if the night was bad.
Well, that about sums it up. Natalie for sure goes back in a month for a weight check but we could bring K to be weighed too. We could do the Hep B booster at the time or wait til the next appointment which is at 9 months.
I'll leave you with a few pics (sorry you have to click the links. Blogger hates me.)...
